Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Escallonia rubra 'Macrantha' is a versatile hardy shrub that can easily find a home in most gardens. It's versatile enough to be put to use as an informal screen or hedge but it won't disgrace itself in a shrubbery display too. During summer the plant is covered in rosy red flowers to waft scent into the air and also attract pollinating insects to visit the garden too. Height: 250cm (98"). Spread: 250cm (98").

Grow Escallonia plants on fertile, well-drained soil in full sun with shelter from cold, drying winds.

Deadhead Escallonia plants regularly to encourage further blooms. During late spring, lightly cut back any shoots that spoil the symmetry of the plant. Mulch the plants with well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant at the same time.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
