Description

Gilt Edge Silverberry is a standout evergreen shrub that combines rugged toughness with year-round ornamental appeal. Its most striking feature is the bold, golden-yellow margin that outlines each glossy, dark green leaf, with the foliage often taking on a subtle pinkish hue in cooler weather. The silvery undersides of the leaves add to its luminous quality. Fast-growing, dense, and remarkably tolerant of coastal conditions, wind, and drought, it quickly forms an excellent colorful hedge, screen, or architectural specimen with minimal care required.

• Bold Gold-Edged Foliage: Features glossy, leathery leaves with a wide, bright golden-yellow margin that may blush with pink in cold weather, backed by a silvery underside.

• Fast-Growing & Dense: A vigorous grower that quickly forms a dense, rounded shrub, reaching 4-5 feet tall and wide, perfect for rapid screening.

• Extremely Tough & Resilient: Exceptionally tolerant of coastal exposure, salt spray, wind, drought, and poor soils once established. Also highly deer resistant.

• Fragrant Autumn Flowers: Produces clusters of small, inconspicuous but powerfully sweet-scented flowers in fall.

• Ornamental Berries: May produce small, silver-red speckled berries in spring that are attractive to birds.

• Low Maintenance: Requires only occasional pruning to shape or control size. Thrives on neglect.
