Clusters of fragrant, pure white flowers from June to September among small, lustrous, dark green leaves, often bronze-tinted in cold weather. This upright, evergreen shrub prefers a sheltered, sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil. To fully appreciate the wonderfully scented flowers, it's best grown in a border close to an entrance or path. Escallonia iveyi is a great candidate in milder parts of the UK where an evergreen windbreak or hedge is required.

Escallonia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, ideally in a sheltered spot to protect it from cold winds. It tolerates a range of soil types but performs best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions.
Water regularly during its first growing season to help it establish, then only in prolonged dry spells. Once established, it's drought tolerant and low maintenance. Prune after flowering in late summer to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushy growth.
In colder regions, choose a more sheltered position or provide some winter protection to avoid frost damage.
