Plant Elaeagnus for autumn fragrance in the garden

Ever heard of Elaeagnus ? Gardening expert and television presenter David Domoney thinks it’s one of the best evergreen shrubs you can plant for autumn scent.

There are plenty of autumn-flowering shrubs you can plant to keep your garden in bloom as the rest of the garden winds down for the year, but if you’re looking for a plant that retains its foliage all year round, Elaeagnus (also known as silverberry) might be the most underrated pick.

In David’s recent Instagram reel, he explains exactly why Elaeagnus is such a remarkable plant – and why it works a little differently from many other evergreen shrubs.
