White Escallonia iveyii

Escallonia iveyii is a quick-growing evergreen shrub with shiny mid-sized scented green leaves (vaguely reminiscent of Friars Balsam). Well suited to the milder areas of the UK and excellent by the sea, escallonia produces white, bell shaped flowers through the summer so is best trimmed in early autumn after flowering. It grows well in sunny or partially shaded, well-drained positions, but loathes cold winds and damp or waterlogged sites. In cold inland situations, it is best planted near a wall. Plant at 50cm(18”) spacing for hedges. Good for hedges 90-300cm(3-9’) in height 2 plants per metre
