Description
This Duo of Escallonias brings together two excellent varieties of hybrid Escallonia, an ideal choice for discovering these evergreen bushes which are perfectly adapted to mild coastal climates. 'Iveyi' is a vigorous hedge bush that produces lightly scented white flowers, while 'Pink Elle', with its compact growth and pink flowers, is a decorative plant that is easy to shape, perfect in a pretty pot on the terrace or in a low border. They can be grown in full sun or partial shade, in any well-drained soil that is not too chalky.
The duo consists of:
1 Escallonia 'Iveyi': a bushy shrub reaching 2.50 m in all directions, with gracefully arching branches, flowering in June-July and then again in September. It is hardy down to -10 °C once mature and can be grown in a large container, allowing it to be overwintered in colder regions.
1 Escallonia laevis 'Pink Elle': an adorable small shrub reaching 80 cm in all directions. It is easy to manage its size with appropriate pruning in height or width, perfect for the terrace or a small garden. From June-July to September-October, it is adorned with panicles of pink flowers streaked with white. This drought-tolerant variety is hardy down to -12°C once established.
You can plant these escallonias directly in the ground in milder regions. Elsewhere, it is better to grow them in a large container (30 to 40 litres) to protect them from severe frost. In areas with borderline hardiness, it is best to plant in March. In Mediterranean climates, on the other hand, planting in October is recommended. In any case, they should be grown in loose, fairly light, well-drained soil, preferably not chalky. The 'Iveyi' variety is best used in a hedge or shrub border with other evergreen hedge plants, with a spacing of 1.50 m between each plant. Escallonia 'Pink Elle' can be placed in front of the hedge or border, mixed with rockroses, a creeping ceanothus 'Blue Diamond', or a small Mexican orange tree like 'White Dazzler'. In this case, space the shrubs 70 to 80 cm apart.

Planting and care
Escallonia is best planted in spring in the north and early autumn in the south. It adapts to any soil that is sufficiently deep and properly drained, even slightly chalky. Choose a sunny or semi-shaded (in hot and dry climates) exposure. It can withstand sea spray, but not cold winter winds. A mature plant can endure brief frosts of around -10 °C, while young and recently planted specimens are a bit more sensitive. Once well-rooted, it tolerates summer drought well. Apply rose fertiliser in spring. Mulch the base in winter. It does not like stagnant moisture, especially in winter. If the soil is excessively chalky, it may suffer from chlorosis.
When planting in a hedge, space the Escallonia 80 cm to 1.50 m apart depending on the size of the varieties. Trim them to one-third of their height in the first few years during their establishment so that they grow compactly and densely. In a hedge, prune branches that disrupt symmetry once it has reached the desired height. You can trim it into a ball shape. In colder regions, plant it in a sheltered position, to the south against a wall or to the west, at the back of a bed or in a hedge.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
