Description

Pretty Princess Escallonia is a tough, fast-growing evergreen shrub celebrated for its long-lasting display of bright pink flowers. It forms a dense, rounded mound of small, glossy, dark green leaves that are slightly toothed. Throughout the warm season, and especially in a major flush in early summer, it is covered with clusters of small, funnel-shaped, vibrant pink blooms. Exceptionally tolerant of coastal winds, salt spray, and drought once established, it is an outstanding choice for creating a colorful, low-maintenance hedge, screen, or windbreak in sunny, exposed gardens.

  • Prolific & Long-Blooming: Flowers heavily in early summer and continues to produce clusters of vivid pink blooms sporadically through fall.

  • Dense, Rounded Habit: Forms a very neat, compact, and naturally rounded shrub, reaching about 6 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide.

  • Exceptional Coastal Toughness: Highly resistant to salt spray, strong winds, and drought, making it a premier choice for seaside landscapes.

  • Low Maintenance & Deer Resistant: Requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape and is generally avoided by deer. Prune lightly after the main bloom to encourage bushiness.

  • Ideal Flowering Hedge: Its dense growth and tolerance of shearing make it perfect for creating a colorful, flowering formal or informal hedge.

Faqs

Q: When is the best time to prune for a formal hedge?
A: For shaping, prune immediately after the main early summer flowering period. This allows time for new growth to harden off before winter and ensures a good bloom the following year. It can be sheared into a tight formal shape.

Q: What are its sun and soil requirements?
A: It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. While drought-tolerant, it will look lusher with occasional deep watering during extended dry spells. It is not fussy about soil pH.
