Description

Colourful AND tidy! Escallonia 'Pink Elle' is a compact evergreen shrub that brings structure and style all year long, topped off with months of big, bold, pink blooms that light up the garden through summer and into autumn.

What makes it so special? Its the combination of showy flower clusters, deep green glossy leaves, and a naturally bushy, rounded habit that stays looking good with almost no intervention. While some shrubs outgrow their welcome or need constant shaping, 'Pink Elle' behaves itself beautifully, reaching a manageable 1.2m and forming a neat dome of evergreen foliage.

Big heads of sugary-pink blooms burst out in early summer, and unlike many others, this one often reblooms again and again into autumn. Bees and butterflies absolutely love it, and it's been recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, 'Pink Elle' is a low-maintenance winner that really earns its space. And because it offers year-round presence with seasonal wow factor, it's one of those plants that quietly transforms a garden, adding structure, rhythm and moments of pure colour joy.

Top Tips
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering
Care Information
  • In mid or late spring lightly cut back any shoots that spoil the shape of the plant.
  • After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
  • Hardy in conditions down to -5C, so some winter protection should be offered if conditions are forecast to dip below this.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
