Silver Buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus var. sericeus) is an evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its silvery gray foliage and strong tolerance to coastal conditions. It has a naturally dense, upright to rounded form and is commonly used as a hedge, screen, accent shrub, or small specimen tree. Silver Buttonwood adds year-round texture and color contrast to landscapes and is especially valued for its durability and low maintenance once established.

Care Needs
• Light: Full sun for best color and growth
• Water: Water regularly during establishment; drought tolerant once established
• Pruning: Responds well to pruning and can be shaped as a hedge or maintained as a small tree
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced slow release fertilizer in spring if growth is slow or foliage color fades
