The interest of Ebbinge's silverberry also lies in its autumn flowering, which occurs from September to November. It then produces small, bell-shaped flowers, creamy white, which give off a sweet and pleasant scent of jasmine. These flowers are followed by round, fleshy fruits, very decorative, orange-red in colour, they are edible and appreciated by birds.

Ebbinge's silverberry is an ideal shrub for creating a hedge, because it offers good shade all year round, while being easy to maintain. It is planted in sun or partial shade, in autumn or spring, leaving approximately 70 centimeters between each foot. Elaeagnus ebbingei is pruned in spring to give it the desired shape. It can also be grown alone or in clumps, to benefit from its decorative foliage and fragrant flowering.
