A Compact Evergreen Professional with Elegant Soft Pink Blooms
The Escallonia 'Pink Elle' is a standout modern variety that acts as a "performance professional" in any garden setting. Known for its exceptionally tidy and compact growth habit, this evergreen shrub is prized for its lush, glossy dark green foliage that provides a sophisticated backdrop all year round. From late spring through to mid-summer, it puts on a spectacular show, smothered in upright flower spikes that burst with soft, elegant pink blooms. Unlike older varieties, 'Pink Elle' maintains a naturally bushy shape without looking leggy, making it one of the absolute best choices for adding fresh colour and structure to your garden borders or pathways.
This hardworking shrub is exceptionally resilient and durable, making it the perfect solution for gardeners looking for high-impact results with minimal effort. It is famously coastal-hardy, thriving in salty air and exposed windy sites where other plants might struggle. Once established, 'Pink Elle' is remarkably drought-tolerant and dependable, performing reliably in full sun to provide a nectar-rich feast for bees and butterflies. These 3L garden-ready plants are fully rooted and ready to provide an immediate sense of luxury and biodiversity to your patio containers, low hedges, or modern landscaped beds.
