They are cultivated for their linear or linear-oblong, silvery, grey-green or mid-green leaves, and for their spherical, usually orange fruits. Both male and female plants are needed to produce fruit. Inconspicuous flowers are borne in racemes in spring. Grow in a mixed or shrub border, in a wild garden, or as specimen plants. In coastal areas, H. rhamnoides is used for windbreaks, hedging, and for stabilizing sand dunes.
