Английская Википедия:Escallonia 'Iveyi'
Escallonia 'Iveyi' is a hybrid cultivar planted as a garden ornamental. The cultivar originated as a natural hybrid seedling discovered in the garden of Caerhays Castle in Cornwall.[1] The cultivar was named for the Caerhays estate's gardener, David Ivey, by Edgar Thurston in his book British & foreign trees and shrubs in Cornwall.[2] Thurston believed it to be a hybrid of E. montevidensis and E. × exonensis (E. rosea × E. rubra).,[2] whereas others later adjudged the female parent to be E. bifida. The shrub was accorded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Merit in 1926,[3] and the Award of Garden Merit in 1993.[4]
Description
'Iveyi' is an evergreen[4] shrub growing to between 1.5 and 2.5 m high, with a similar spread, bearing glossy dark green foliage. Panicles of white flowers appear in the summer.[4]
Cultivation
The cultivar prefers a moist well-drained soil and a sunny or partly shaded situation.[4] Propagation is from semi-mature cuttings of the current season's growth.[4]
