Oleaster – Elaeagnus x ebbingei

The Ultimate All-Weather Privacy Screen

Elaeagnus x ebbingei is the gold standard for gardeners who need a fast, hardy, and dependable evergreen hedge. Known for its incredible resilience, this “Oleaster” is a lifesaver for coastal gardens and wind-swept sites where other hedging might fail.

The foliage is truly unique: large, leathery leaves with a stunning silver-metallic underside that catches the light in the breeze. While it provides excellent year-round privacy, its hidden secret is the tiny white flowers that appear in autumn. They may be small, but they carry an intense, jasmine-like fragrance that can be smelled from across the garden. If you need a tough-as-nails hedge that looks (and smells) fantastic, this is it.

2 litre potted plant – 1ft in height.
