Escallonia bifida

Escallonia bifida Compact White

Escallonia bifida Compact White is renowned for both its attractive foliage and quaint flowers. Glossy, green foliage gives way to clusters of lightly scented, white flowers in spring and summer. It is an easily grown, evergreen shrub with a bushy habit and typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide. Often it is kept to smaller sizes with trimming as necessary. Best performance with this Escallonia is achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site, though it is hardy to frost, wind, and coastal conditions. Escallonia bifida Compact White is commonly included in mixed plantings or trimmed into a hedge with plants spaced 50 cm apart.
