Elaeagnus x ebbingei 'Compacta'
Elaeagnus x ebbingei 'Compacta' is a dense, compact evergreen shrub with large, leathery dark grey-green leaves attractively speckled with silver and contrasting silvery undersides. Its neat, bushy habit makes it particularly useful for hedging, screening and structural planting.
In autumn, small creamy-white flowers appear among the foliage, producing a surprisingly strong and pleasant fragrance. These late-season flowers provide a valuable food source for bees and other pollinating insects when fewer plants are in bloom.
The flowers may be followed by orange fruits in spring, providing additional seasonal interest and a useful food source for birds. Hardy, adaptable and easy to grow, 'Compacta' is an excellent all-round evergreen for mixed borders, hedging and wildlife-friendly gardens.
