Elaeagnus × ebbingei 'Compacta' is a more compact cultivar of the popular Elaeagnus ebbingei, offering the same tough, evergreen qualities in a smaller, more manageable form. It features thick, dark green leaves with silvery undersides and produces highly fragrant, creamy-white flowers in autumn, often followed by small orange-red berries in winter.

Growing to around 1.5–2 meters tall and wide, 'Compacta' is perfect for smaller gardens, low-maintenance hedges, foundation plantings, or container use. Its dense growth makes it excellent for privacy, wind protection, and noise reduction in more confined spaces.

This variety is very hardy and adaptable—it tolerates coastal conditions, urban pollution, drought, and poor soils. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and requires little maintenance once established.

With its neat form, sweet-scented blooms, and year-round foliage, Elaeagnus ebbingei 'Compacta' is a versatile and reliable choice for both decorative and functional landscape uses.
