ELAEAGNUS EBBINGEI COMPATTA

Elaeagnus ebbingei ‘Compacta’ is a compact and tidy variety of the famous evergreen Elaeagnus, ideal for those looking for a resistant, decorative and low-maintenance plant. Compared to the classic species, ‘Compacta’ stands out for its more contained and regular growth, perfect for creating formal hedges, compact borders or for use in pots on terraces and balconies.
The foliage is dense and very ornamental: oval, leathery leaves, an intense glossy green on the upper side, while the lower side is silvery, creating delicate reflections in the light. In autumn, they produce small, scented flowers, discreet but pleasant, sometimes followed by red-orange fruits, also decorative.
Particularly appreciated for its tolerance to difficult conditions, Elaeagnus ‘Compacta’ resists wind, salt, drought and urban pollution well, making it ideal for coastal gardens or city areas. It grows well both in the sun and in partial shade, and quickly forms a thick and impenetrable green barrier, also suitable as a privacy screen.
A smart and refined choice for those who want something that is always beautiful all year round, robust and versatile, capable of adapting to multiple uses in the garden without ever being banal.
