Silver buttonwood has silvery-gray leaves that stand out against a green yard. It is a native, takes salt spray and wind, and clips into a clean hedge.
It is a strong choice near the coast and in open, windy spots. Avoid wet, shady sites.
It stays lower than green buttonwood, which suits a front hedge at 6 ft.
