Elaeagnus x ebbingei ‘Gilt Edge’ is a broadleaf, evergreen shrub featuring glossy leaves with dark green centers and bright golden-yellow margins, fragrant, tiny, creamy-white flowers in the fall, and small, edible, reddish drupes in spring. Thornless. Uses include privacy screen, windbreak, security hedge, erosion control. Excellent in seacoast and desert landscapes. Low to moderate water needs. Exceptionally drought-resistant once established. It adapts to nearly all soil types (sandy, clay, loam, or rocky) as long as it is well-drained. Prefers neutral to acid soils but tolerates most pH levels. Grows in full sun to deep shade, though deeper shade may cause variegation to fade or limit flowering. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Moderately fire-resistant. Cold hardy to -20°F.
