Light Required Elaeagnus are highly adaptable shrubs that will grow in full sun or shade. Plants grow more rapidly and dense with more sun.

Watering Water your Eleagnus Silverberry regularly for the first few months after planting it. Keep this up until the hedge starts. After that, you only water in dry periods. Pour the water directly into the root ball. In this way the roots of the plant can immediately absorb the water.

Best Growing Conditions Grow elaeagnus in well-drained soil, in full sun. Cut back after flowering and mulch annually, in autumn. Elaeagnus grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. They’re tough plants and can cope with a range of soil types, including dry soil. They work well as a hedge or shrub, in front of which you can grow more colourful plants. Or plant one near a bench or seating area so you can appreciate its fragrant blooms.
