Lolly's Elaeagnus

Plant: Oleaster Hedge (Elaeagnus x ebbingei) | Variety: Limelight | 5 | Very Happy

Birthday present from my parents. They said it had a nice fragrance (which it does), so I put it on the edge of the patio – bit of a mistake, as it’s a bit overpowering. Need to keep it in check, and give it a regular haircut.

Hi TropicanaRoses – I’ve just got home and taken some photos of the Elaeagnus. It looks quite a bit more sober since I gave it a severe prune yesterday.

Wow! It has some beautiful coloring!! Is it the leaves that have the fragrance, or does it flower?

It has tiny creamy white flowers and they are scented. Can’t remember when it flowers though! This is what I need myfolia for… From now on I shall be photographing everything that takes place in my garden. Still not remembering isn’t all bad, as at the moment, most things come as a nice surprise….!

Oh dear! I’ve just looked up when it should flower… and it’s winter. I guess this means no flowers this winter, as I gave it a very heavy prune two days ago. I’ve filled in as much as can into the plant wiki. 8(
