Elaeagnus
Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
Great for establishing a basic skeleton for the beginning of your garden or filling in gaps in your existing one, any one of the more than 50 different varieties of Elaeagnus shrubs are a simply beautiful addition to any available space you may have in your yard. Featuring unique, olive green leaves with silver or brown scales, a lovely fall-like fragrance and edible fruit, these incredible shrubs will quickly become your year-round favorite. An immensely hardy plant that can stand up to amazingly dry conditions, these fast-growing shrubs make great hedges because they can be planted and grown as fast as possible and they will last long after planting. With flexible sun and shade requirements so you don’t have to worry about where you place it, these wonderful shrubs can also make it through cold weather at least as well as heat.
