Elaeagnus ebbengei ‘Vivileg’

Description

Elaeagnus ebb. ‘Vivileg’ is a compact evergreen shrub with leathery dark green leaves that have an irregular yellow margin and a silvery underside. Tiny creamy-white, highly fragrant flowers are produced in late autumn, which turn to purple-red berries in the spring. It makes for a fantastic option as a hedging plant in coastal areas, as it is able to withstand strong coastal, salty winds. It is also perfectly suitable for containers, and for planting as stand-alone shrubs in mixed borders. Height and spread approx 2m.
