Escallonia is a super evergreen shrub with dark green glossy leaves and masses of bright flowers from June to October. It is suitable for most soils and situations and is particularly well suited to coastal situations but is not shade tolerant and does not like extremely cold positions. It is relatively fast growing at approx 30/45cm p.a. It should be pruned for shape after flowering. We have numerous varieties available - See our ultimate guide to Escallonia hedging plants for more information.

Gardening Essentials As we wake up to frost on our cars and the heating bill increasing over the next few months, it’s safe to say that the love-hate relationship we have with Winter is upon us.
Great service, price and quality. I bought a pallet of Euonymous Green Spire (40 plants @ 50 cm tall) from hedgingplantsdirect.co.uk and I'm very happy with the prompt service and quality. They only took a couple of days to arrive - brilliantly packaged on a pallet, wrapped in cardboard and cellophane. All the notes that I had made on the order about tricky access for the delivery lorry were relayed to the delivery company who followed the instructions to the letter. I got the plants out and they look like they have been very well looked after. They are exactly as expected. I've bought plants from other companies in the past and it's been something of a disappointment - but I am very happy with hedgingplantsdirect and will definitely order again.
