Escallonia 'Red Dream' has a useful low growing habit that makes it suitable for hedging and ground cover, as well as the planting in the shrub border. The glossy foliage is salt tolerant, making it an ideal shrub for coastal plantings.

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.
