Elaeagnus commutata ‘Quick Silver’ is a deciduous shrub, valued for its decorative foliage: the leaves are narrow, lance-shaped, and have an elegant silver color that adds brightness and contrast to borders and hedges.

It grows with a spreading and slightly irregular habit, giving a natural and soft appearance to green compositions.

In autumn, it produces small, fragrant cream-white flowers, hidden among the leaves, which attract bees and beneficial insects. Later, small oval fruits may develop, turning red when ripe; they are decorative but not very showy.

Hardy and resistant to wind, salt spray, and air pollution, Elaeagnus commutata ‘Quick Silver’ adapts well to poor and dry soils, making it an excellent choice for coastal gardens, windbreaks, and urban areas.
