Elaeagnus Mr. Smooth® Seedless Thornless Silverthorn
Elaeagnus Mr. Smooth® Seedless Thornless Silverthorn
A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs variety, Elaeagnus Mr. Smooth® is a breakthrough in landscape design, an evergreen shrub with no thorns, no seeds, and no guilt. This seedless, thornless silverthorn (Elaeagnus × ebbingei) delivers year-round interest with silvery-green foliage and fragrant white flowers in fall. Unlike traditional Elaeagnus varieties, Mr. Smooth® was developed by Dr. Tom Ranney and his team at North Carolina State University to be non-invasive and far more manageable.
Perfect for hedges, beds, borders, or specimen planting, this shrub thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates drought, heat, salt, pollution, and even clay soils. Its dense, compact form naturally fills space beautifully but can also be pruned into hedges or shaped for topiary.
Highly resistant to deer and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, Mr. Smooth® is both hardworking and visually appealing. The silver-toned foliage provides elegant contrast in mixed plantings, and its versatility extends to container gardening and even cut flower arrangements. Whether you're designing a low-maintenance border or a polished formal hedge, this thornless, sterile silverthorn offers everything you need—without the drawbacks.
