'Silver Satin' New Mexico Privet (Forestiera neomexicana) is a newer selection of this outstanding native shrub species. A deciduous plant, the new spring leaves emerge green, but soon develop a shiny gray color that then changes to golden yellow in the fall. Discovered by High Country Gardens Chief Horticulturist, David Salman, in a Santa Fe, NM landscape, 'Silver Satin' is grown from cuttings taken from the original male plant. It may take the plant a couple of years to begin to show its silver leaves, as it seems that the young foliage on the fast-growing stems of young transplants will stay green, but be patient, as the mature plants are stunning in the xeric landscape. 'Silver Satin' is a male plant and can be used instead of or in addition to āHappy Boyā for pollinating Forestiera āBerry Girlā to grow dark purple berries on the female plant, which are eagerly eaten by song birds. If no fruit is desired, plant only male plants. One male plant can pollinate numerous female plants. In the xeriscape, combine it with Blue Mist Spirea (Caryopteris), Gro-Low Sumac (Rhus), and Fernbush (Chamaebatiaria millifolium).

"Planted on gentle hillside. Already have established Happy Boy and Berry Girl."
"I'm establishing a living fence to provide a barrier between my neighbor's property & mine that softens the view from my house. I have several acres and my fence is a livestock fence and I want to hide it."
"I purchased Silver Satin last season for a very hot space in Las Cruces, NM in full sun. I had absolutely no problems getting it to establish (which can be challenging in June here). It put on about six inches the first year. It is yet to bud out this year, though it is clearly still in good health. Looking forward to seeing this one really start to grow over the next few seasons."
