Escallonia Iveyi

Escallonia Iveyi is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub covered in glossy green foliage and an abundance of fragrant white flowers in summer. Ideal for seaside and coastal gardens, Escallonia will quickly produce a good quality hedge and can be clipped into a formal hedge or left as is for a more informal look. We recommend you plant Escallonia 70 cm apart for hedges and borders. Prune after flowering to encourage new growth and flowering. Feed with a controlled-release fertiliser twice yearly.

Soil: Free-draining soil rich in organic matter. Mulch and water well until established.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Coastal, drought, heat and frost tolerant. They will not cope with humidity.
Soil: Height 2.5m x width 2m

A beautiful variety of the popular shrub, the Escallonia Iveyi carries dense branches of deep, dark green leaves with a lovely, glossy sheen. These are accompanied by trusses of small, tubular pure white flowers which create a striking contrast against the foliage and provide a pleasant, mild scent. A great choice for borders and can be wall trained or planted as an overhang or cascading plant.

Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Keep in full sun in a sheltered position to protect from cold, drying winds. Drought tolerant once established and suitable for coastal regions.
