Elaeagnus × ebbingei ‘Compacta’ Description

Elaeagnus × ebbingei ‘Compacta’ is a dense evergreen shrub with leathery dark green leaves that are silver beneath. Tiny creamy-white flowers appear among the foliage during autumn and release a strong sweet fragrance, despite being visually inconspicuous. Its naturally compact, well-branched growth is easier to manage than that of the standard hybrid and suits informal hedges, screening, mixed borders and large containers. Grow in full sun or partial shade in almost any moist but well-drained soil. Once established it tolerates drought, urban pollution, wind and salt-laden air, making it particularly dependable in exposed Irish coastal gardens. Trim after flowering or during spring if a formal outline is required, avoiding severe pruning during prolonged frost.
