Escallonia Pink Elle 3L

Escallonia ‘Pink Elle’ is a compact, evergreen shrub valued for its glossy green foliage and showy clusters of pink flowers in summer. Best grown in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, it forms a neat, bushy plant ideal for sunny borders or low informal hedging, and it is suitable for coastal locations in Ireland. Expect an eventual size of around 1–1.5m in height and spread, with average growth; lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
