Garrya elliptica
Garrya elliptica, the Silk Tassel Bush, is a handsome evergreen shrub admired for its long, silvery catkin-like tassels that appear in late winter. These elegant, drooping catkins can reach impressive lengths, creating dramatic interest at a time when few other plants are in bloom. Its leathery, dark green, wavy-edged leaves offer year-round structure and provide a striking backdrop to the winter display.
Hardy and reliable, Garrya elliptica thrives in a sunny, sheltered position, ideally against a warm wall where the tassels are best displayed. It is excellent for coastal gardens, mixed shrub borders or as an architectural evergreen feature. Recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it is valued for its strong performance and winter flair.
