Escallonia is a popular evergreen shrub that combines glossy green foliage with profuse, long-lasting flowers. Blooming from late spring through autumn, its clusters of pink, white, or red flowers add colour and charm to borders, hedges, and mixed plantings. The dense, bushy habit of Escallonia makes it ideal for creating low-maintenance hedges, while its glossy leaves reflect light beautifully, keeping the garden vibrant even in winter. Escallonia’s flowers are a magnet for bees and other pollinators, contributing to a lively, wildlife-friendly garden.

This shrub is highly tolerant of coastal winds, making it a favourite for seaside gardens, but it also thrives in urban environments. With its fast growth, low maintenance requirements, and reliable flowering, Escallonia is a top choice for both ornamental and functional garden roles.
