Escallonia are fantastic evergreen shrubs that have healthy green leaves that are leathery to the touch. The glossy green leaves add year round interest to your garden and further interest is added in late spring with a beautiful display of flowers. The flowers are borne in terminal racemes and some have a wonderfully sweet fragrance. These hardy shrubs are perfectly suited to seaside locations and can make a pretty hedge for costal gardens.
