    With dainty pink blooms poised above, a silver effulgence splashes across the surface of each polished, prominently veined leaf in a unique fashion, sometimes concealing any sign of greenery, while rich wine hues warm the undersides. Place 'Silver Leaf Pink' beneath Elaeagnus 'Quicksilver' to enhance the elegant frosty display. Hardy to zone 5.
