Escallonia bifida (White Escallonia) - An evergreen shrub or even a small tree that can reach 10 feet or taller but is usually kept much smaller with globes of white dainty flowers floating above the dark, green foliage in masses. White escallonia has a thick trunk and spreading crown. It is valuable as a seaside planting and is marginally frost hardy - to about 15 degrees F. It prefers full sun and will do well with moderate watering.
This information about Escallonia bifida displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
