Please note- although Escallonia is initially classified as evergreen, some will lose a few leaves during very harsh winters.

The Escallonia Pink will give you beautiful year-round interest, and it is a perfect hedge plant for the coast due to its hardy nature. It is also ideal if you are just wanting to spice up your garden and add some brightness. It is averagely fast growing, sitting at a growth rate of 30-45cm per year.

The Escallonia Pink can be planted in most soils and situations. It is especially tolerant of coastal situations; however, it is not shade tolerant or suitable to very cold locations.

  • Growth height: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
  • Soil type: Normal, chalk, clay
  • Exposure: Inland, exposed, coastal
  • Aspect: Semi-shade, full sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

In terms of trimming/pruning your Escallonia ‰ۡÌÝÌáDonard Seedling,‰ۡó» ensure to do it immediately after the flowers fade. We also recommend a harder prune in the early Spring (April/May time), as it can greatly benefit the plant and help it to thrive in future years.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down lightly to secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
