Red Escallonia Hedging 20/30cm 2L Pot

The Red Escallonia, scientifically known as Escallonia rubra Macrantha, is a popular choice for hedging due to its vibrant color and robust nature. This evergreen shrub features dark green, glossy leaves that provide year-round interest, complemented by masses of eye-catching pink-red flowers that bloom profusely, attracting pollinators and adding a splash of color to any garden.

One of the key benefits of Red Escallonia hedging is its adaptability. It's well-suited to coastal environments, tolerating salty winds and challenging conditions. Furthermore, it's considered grazing animal friendly, making it a safe option for properties with livestock. The hedging is supplied in a 2L pot, ensuring the plant has a well-established root system and is ready for immediate planting.

Pot-grown hedging offers significant advantages over bare-root alternatives. The plants are already established in their containers, allowing for flexible planting at any time of the year. Transportation is easy, and the strong root system ensures quick establishment in its new location. This minimizes transplant shock, promoting faster and healthier growth. Red Escallonia is relatively low maintenance, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its shape and size. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny to partially shaded position.
