This exciting new shrub has many potential uses in the garden, its dwarf compact habit is well suited to container growing on a terrace or patio, it would be a perfect addition to fill gaps in a shrub border, or a lovely small and compact flowering hedge. We would recommend 3-4 plants per metre (if you are patient you could plant them further apart), when fully grown Escallonia Pink Elle is around 100cm tall.
Escallonia Pink Elle will grow in any soil type, the only situation to avoid is Winter waterlogging or poor drainage. This is a great plant for seaside gardens and they are well suited to most environments apart from very harsh and cold areas where s sheltered spot would be best.
How to grow Escallonia Pink Elle

Flowering time: Summer.
Growth rate: moderate
Ultimate height and spread: 100cm high x 100cm wide.

Aftercare: Water regularly after planting and for the first season. Trim hedges and shrubs in late Summer.
Hedges and shrubs should be gently trimmed after flowering in early Summer, this will encourage new growth and more flowers later the same season. After the plants have finished flowering in September another trim will keep the plants tidy and neat.
