Care Guide
Good pest and disease resistance
Can be affected by Escallonia Leaf Spot - to avoid this, feed regularly and water during prolonged dry spells. Escallonia Leaf Spot is a purple/black fungus which causes leaves to turn yellow and drop. Dispose of affected leaves and cut back plants hard to stimulate new growth.
Full Sun to Partial Shade
Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot away from cold, drying winds. Can be wall-trained
Any moist well-drained soil
Escallonia can thrive in a variety of soils as long as it is well-draining. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or gets waterlogged often then consider mixing in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost and possibly some perlite to improve drainage.
Prune yearly
Cut back once or twice a year at the end of Winter and the end of Summer to make the foliage denser and promote flowering.
