From the lovely array of greenery to the fragrant petite flowers followed by edible Silverberries, this shrub will charm all who come across it! The fragrance and sweet-tart red berries are unexpected perks and will blow you away
This broadleaf evergreen is a cousin to the Buffaloberry! A compact growing, dense shrub filled with olive green and smooth silver leaves. Young plants appear to be green with silver scales and as the shrub ages, leaf surfaces become dark green above and remain silver underneath. Reaching 8-10 feet in mature height and width, these fast-growing shrubs will quickly add color and interest to your landscape!
October to November, throughout USDA growing zones 7-9, your hedge will come alive with petite white flowers. Don't be fooled by the size though, these flowers are wonderfully fragrant and will fill your yard with a sweet scent come late summer. Butterflies and other pollinators will stop by to check out the little flowers and have a quick snack too! Soon songbirds will arrive for the berries for a pre-winter treat!
