Escallonia Iveyi A lovely, natural hybrid discovered at Caerhays Castle in Cornwall, Escallonia Iveyi is a large evergreen shrub with an upright habit, making an excellent hedge or wall shrub. Small, deep green, glossy leaves often turn bronze in cold weather. Richly scented, pure white flowers, attractive to pollinators, appear from June to September, and will be the more appreciated if grown near a path or doorway. Prune lightly in spring to keep it tidy and compact, and keep dead-heading to prolong flowering. Not for the coldest areas, and avoid cold, drying winds. Escallonia Iveyi holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
