Flowering Period

Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Botanika’, commonly known as Sea-buckthorn, is a robust and fruitful shrub that stands out for its abundant, nutrient-rich berries, striking silvery foliage, and remarkable adaptability. Thriving in sunny, well-drained locations, this plant is an excellent choice for informal hedges, edible gardens, or wildlife-friendly landscapes in temperate regions. Its vibrant yellow-orange berries, which begin to appear in August, not only add a splash of color but are also packed with essential vitamins A, C, and E, making them a valuable addition to any garden.

The Sea-buckthorn is characterized by its evergreen, lanceolate leaves that exhibit a silvery-green hue, with a grey underside that enhances its visual appeal. This deciduous shrub produces fragrant yellow-green flowers in the spring, with separate male and female plants required for successful fruiting. To ensure a bountiful harvest, it is essential to have a male pollinator nearby. Additionally, this remarkable plant has the unique ability to fix nitrogen in the soil through a symbiotic relationship with Frankia bacteria, allowing it to thrive even in poor, sandy, or alkaline soils.

Reaching heights of up to 350 cm and spreading 250 cm at maturity, the Sea-buckthorn is a fast-growing species that is hardy to approximately -30 °C, making it suitable for most regions in the UK. Its bushy, thorny habit can lead to the production of root suckers, allowing it to naturalize if left unmanaged. While the berries are tart when consumed raw, they provide essential winter interest and serve as a food source for wildlife, making this shrub a delightful and functional addition to any garden. Height: 350 cm (138 in) Spread: 250 cm (98 in)

Growing Information

Plant Hippophae rhamnoides in well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in full sun. Mature plants are very drought tolerant but water well until established.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
