About this plant
Tilia tomentosa 'Sterling Silver', commonly known as Silver Linden, is a striking deciduous tree prized for its silvery-green foliage and graceful form. This cultivar features shimmering silver undersides of leaves that create a luminous effect when they catch sunlight or sway in the breeze. 'Sterling Silver' blooms with clusters of small, creamy-yellow flowers in summer, attracting pollinators such as bees. Ideal for urban landscapes due to its tolerance for pollution, heat, and drought, it provides shade and aesthetic appeal. Its upright, symmetrical growth makes it excellent for large spaces or streetscapes.
