Escallonia White Spires. The result of 15 years of plant breeding, Escallonia White Spires is a greatly improved hybrid of Escallonia ‘Everest’, a hybrid I raised in 1997.
This new cultivar is more erect and with even more flowers, and far easier to propagate.
Young plants are being produced by two of the country’s Liner nurseries and are to be launched at the National Plant Show in June 2025.
