Hybrid Silverberry

Description

A unique cross of two Silverberry species, Hybrid Silverberry features large, silvery leaves that become green on top as they age. It is prized for its profuse, fragrant, silvery-white flowers and its attractive, tasty, red fruit.

These unique and very attractive shrubs are relatives of Goumi and Autumn Olive. They are prized for their evergreen foliage, fragrant white flowers, and silvery red, tasty fruit. Silverberry’s unique fall blooms feature wonderful vanilla-like fragrance and are followed by tasty, slivery-red berries that ripen in late spring. Extremely cold winter temperatures will damage the fruit. Silverberry is hardy to minus 10°F and can grow 6-8 ft. in height and width. Planting several will make an attractive, evergreen, fragrant and fruiting hedge.
