Escallonia rubra Red Dream 9cm Potted Plant x 1

Escallonia 'Red Dream' is a charming evergreen shrub that adds year-round structure and vibrant summer colour to any garden. Its glossy, dark foliage forms a perfect backdrop for the masses of Pink tubular flowers that appear in abundance, attracting bees and other pollinating insects throughout the season. This reliable plant is perfect for gardeners looking to support local wildlife while adding a splash of colour and texture.

Low growing and compact, Escallonia 'Red Dream' is an excellent choice for low hedging, ground cover, or coastal planting thanks to its salt-tolerant leaves. Hardy and easy to care for, it thrives in sunny, sheltered spots with minimal fuss, making it a superb option for low-maintenance borders or informal screens.

How to Grow:

Light: Plant in full sun for best flowering

Temperature: Hardy and tolerant of coastal conditions; shelter from cold, drying winds

Watering: Water well until established; drought tolerant once mature

Feeding: Mulch annually with well-rotted compost or manure in spring
