One of Roy Lancaster's favourite shrubs for fragrance, Elaeagnus 'Quicksilver' has small but very sweetly scented flowers in summer. It is a fast-growing shrub that has beautiful silvery leaves. Its tolerant nature means that it is a good plant for many difficult situations, including areas that are blasted by coastal winds and places with dry soil. However it will suffer if planted in shallow, chalky soils.
Looks good with:
Choisya ternataViburnum rhytidophyllum
