Escallonia Hedging

Where to Plant Escallonia Hedge Plants

If you love bees, then we recommend planting Escallonia. The scented flowers attract honeybees, bumblebees and mature butterflies, as they’re an excellent source of nectar and pollen. Interestingly, the white-flowered variety (Escallonia ‘Iveyi’) is more popular with butterflies than pink or red types.

Escallonia is also an excellent choice of shrub for hedging in coastal situations, as it is tolerant of the salt-laden, sea-air. As Escallonia is an evergreen plant, it makes a fantastic windbreak and year-round display of luxurious green foliage set against a choice of beautiful coloured flowers.

The pink-flowered variety (Escallonia ‘Donard Seedling) is a hybrid of Escallonia langleyensis and Escallonia x Virgata. The white Escallonia (Escallonia ‘Iveyi’) is a hybrid of Escallonia Bifida and Escallonia exoniensis from Cornwall.
