Escallonia Apple Blossom has masses of apple-blossom pink, tubular flowers among small, glossy, dark green leaves. This compact, bushy, evergreen shrub looks lovely towards the back of a sunny shrub border, or as a foil for flowering perennials, or for growing as an informal flowering hedge. It is particularly effective as a windbreak.
It is an easily grown shrub with a bushy habit and typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this evergreen is achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site though it is hardy to moderate frost and dry periods.
Flowering: Spring - Summer [October - January]
