Escallonia White (Escallonia Iveyi)

Pot Grown Escallonia White
(Escallonia 'Iveyi')

White Escallonia̴Ì?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.

We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.

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

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

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.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down lightly to secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    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.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
