The plant is beautiful and well-developed, but very dry. I've placed it in a saucer of water.

Description
Elaeagnus pungens Hosoba Fukurin is a new variety of evergreen bush, with leaves that are green with cream-white margins, that does not exceed 2.5m (8 ft 2 in) in height. It is an ornamental shrub that can be used for hedges, pots, or flower beds.
Originally from China and Japan, this hardy shrub (tolerates temperatures down to -23°C (-9.4 °F)) has a rounded and well-branched habit. The young branches are tinted with orange-brown and bear short thorns here and there. Its evergreen leaves, measuring 4 to 6cm (1.6 to 2.4 in) in length, are tough, alternate, lanceolate, and bright green with cream-white margins. The nectar-rich flowering occurs in autumn with pendulous silver-white, inconspicuous flowers that are slightly fragrant. This is followed by edible fruits, 1cm (0.4 in) long, oval and dark red in with a cherry-like taste.
Elaeagnus pungens Hosuba Fukurin is easy to grow and adapts to well-drained, sandy soils, even dry and poor ones, without limestone, in sunny or semi-shaded locations. To encourage branching in the first few years, prune the shoots by one-third of their length and trim every spring.
Planted as a hedge or in a flower bed, Elaeagnus pungens Hosoba Fukurin creates a beautiful contrast when combined with Escallonia, Olearia, Tamaris, and Griselinia. It is completely unaffected by pollution and forms an excellent hedge in urban gardens. It captures nitrogen from the atmosphere through its leaves and redirects it to its roots.

Planting and care
Elaeagnus pungens Hosoba Fukurin is best planted in spring or autumn in well-drained, sandy soil, even dry and poor, without limestone, in a sunny or semi-shaded position. Strong winds and sea spray are well tolerated. To promote branching in the early years, prune the shoots by one-third of their length and trim every spring. Totally insensitive to pollution, it forms an excellent hedge in sheltered city gardens. It captures nitrogen from the atmosphere through its leaves and redirects it to its roots.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
