A cracking selection of the ever-reliable and easy to grow Escallonia, this lovely compact shrub combines glossy evergreen foliage with many months of summer and autumn colour from its notably larger blooms than most other Escallonia!

Producing clusters of candy pink flowers in early summer, often reblooming well in autumn, ‘Pink Elle’ is ideal for forming a decorative low hedge or filling in gaps and in beds and borders with its barrage of flowers contrasting against year-round evergreen foliage.

It will remain compact, growing to around 1.2m tall and wide, producing a nice even bush, perfect for larger pots that can be placed around the patio. A brilliant flowering shrub, flowers are very attractive to pollinators which will not only bring your garden to life with the buzz of bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects as an RHS recommended 'Plant for Pollinators', but will also help the performance of other plants in the garden.

Easy to care for, tough and very rewarding, ‘Pink Elle’ is a great new introduction to the Escallonia family!

Supplied as an established plant in a 2-3L pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering
Care Information
  • In mid or late spring lightly cut back any shoots that spoil the shape of the plant.
  • After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
  • Hardy in conditions down to -5C, so some winter protection should be offered if conditions are forecast to dip below this.
Delivery Information
