ESCALLONIA LAEVIS PINK ELLE “LADES” (R.ROYALTY)

Escallonia laevis ‘Pink Elle’, variety name ‘Lades’, is an evergreen shrub of extraordinary elegance, ideal for those who want a compact, tidy plant that flowers generously. It stands out for its rounded and well-branched shape, which makes it perfect for low borders, compact hedges or for growing in pots on terraces and balconies. Its strong point is its abundant flowering, which begins between late spring and summer: clusters of intense pink flowers bloom in large quantities, contrasting beautifully with the glossy green foliage and creating a lively and refined effect at the same time. The flowers are also scented and much appreciated by bees and butterflies, making it an ecological as well as aesthetic choice. ‘Pink Elle’ is a compact variety with well-contained growth, which generally does not exceed 1 metre in height, maintaining a rounded shape without the need for frequent pruning. It is a plant resistant to wind, sun and salt, therefore also perfect for coastal gardens or windy areas. It tolerates drought well once established and adapts to a variety of soil types, as long as it is well-drained. With its spectacular flowering, neat shape and great ease of growth, Escallonia ‘Pink Elle’ is an ideal choice for adding colour and structure to the garden, all year round, with minimal effort.
