Escallonia iveyi
Escallonia iveyi - oftem misspelled Escallonia iveyii is a quick-growing evergreen white escallonia with shiny mid-sized scented green leaves. They have a stronger scent immediately after rain when they are reminiscent of Friars Balsam or Allspice. Escallonia iveyi is well suited to the milder areas of the UK - it is happy as far north as Leeds.
Excellent by the sea, escallonia iveyi produces masses of white, bell shaped flowers through the summer so is best trimmed in early autumn after flowering. It grows well in sunny or very lightly shaded, well-drained positions, but like all escallonia, iveyi loathes cold winds and damp or waterlogged sites. In cold inland situations, escallonia should be planted near a wall.
