It is a delightful hedge if you are wanting something evergreen and will give you year-round interest, or even if you want a plant for screening purposes. The flowers will even attract wildlife too!

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

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 pruning your White Escallonia, ensure you do it straight after it is flowers fade. We also recommend that you give it a harder prune in the beginning of Spring (around April/May time). This will help your plant thrive exceedingly in the coming years.
