Escallonia White (Escallonia Iveyi)

Escallonia White
(Escallonia 'Iveyi')

White Escallonia is a lovely evergreen shrub with glossy, dark-green leaves, making it the ideal plant if you are looking for something to brighten up the garden.

The Escallonia Iveyi produces stunning bell-shaped white flowers, that are tinged with pink and slightly scented, and flower within June and October. It is a delightful hedge if you are wanting something evergreen and will give you year-round interest, or even if you want a plant for screening purposes. The flowers will even attract wildlife too!

Please note- although Escallonia is initially classified as evergreen, some will lose a few leaves during very harsh winters.

The White Escallonia is well-known for its picturesque, green leaves, that are larger than the other Escallonia varieties. It is also reasonably fast growing, sitting at 30-45cm per annum.

The Escallonia Iveyi can tolerate most soils and situations and is particularly suited to coastal areas. However, you must note that it cannot survive well in shady and cold positions.

  • Growth height: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure: Coastal, Exposed, Inland
  • Aspect: Semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

In terms of pruning your White Escallonia, ensure you do it straight after it is flowers fade. We also recommend that you give it a harder prune in the beginning of Spring (around April/May time). This will help your plant thrive exceedingly in the coming years.

When should I plant White Escallonia hedging?

The best time to plant your Escallonia is throughout autumn, when the weather is a little cooler.

How far apart should you plant Escallonia?

Your Escallonia's root system will establish and develop best when the plants are spaced round 30-40cm apart. This will provide a dense coverage and healthy, strong roots.

How to plant White Escallonia:

Begin by digging a hole that is 4-5 times wider than the plant's root ball. Break up the excavated soil and then mix in some soil mix, compost, or organic soil conditioner. Pour a thick later of this at the bottom of the hole.̴Ì?

Remove the plant from its pot and thread the cultivator along the clumped roots to disentangle them. Then, position the plant in the centre of the hole and spread out its roots, adding a stake if required.

Backfill with what is left of the soil, and press down lightly but firm to secure the plant. Water abundantly, and continue to regularly do so throughout the first year after planting.

Finally, spread a 2-3" layer of mulch at the base of the plant to help retain the warmth/moisture in the soil.

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
