A fast-growing evergreen, perfect for creating lush, dense hedges.
Features glossy, dark green leaves with a silvery sheen, complemented by small, fragrant white flowers in autumn.
Thrives in full sun, making it ideal for borders or large patio containers.
Grows to a mature height of 1-1.5m and a spread of 0.5-1m.
Easy to care for, with excellent pest and disease resistance.
An RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' variety, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

Species: Oleaster
Features: Evergreen
Flowering Time: August, September
Flower Colour: Small, scented white flowers appear in autumn
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: A small shrub with a bushy, dense habit
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 0.5-1m
Hardiness: H5 - Hardy through most of the UK even in severe winters. May not withstand open or exposed sites or central / northerly locations.

Planting Time: March to September
Soil: Prefers well drained loam or sandy soils.
Pruning: Pruning Group 9 - This group of evergreen shrubs bloom in summer and autumn on the previous or current year's growth. They need little pruning. Prune lightly removing unsightly shoots as required in mid to late spring.
Pest & Disease: Usually pest-free. Can suffer from Coral Spot - this causes die-back of branches and pinhead-sized pink pustules of fungus on the bark. To prevent this fungal disease, always prune in dry weather. When pruning, cut branches through the collar (ring of slight swelling found at the base of branches). Healing of wounds occurs most quickly here. If die-back occurs after pruning, remove dead material to avoid further infection.
