Larger than average heads of pink flowers form in abundance at the ends of the branches of this compact evergreen shrub in early summer. Usually in early autumn there is a second, less prolific flush that will add another shot of colour to the shrub border.
The foliage is a rich glossy green, and this looks great all through the year, even when not providing a backdrop for the flowers.
Escallonia laevis Pink Elle will make a fine specimen for pots, and its naturally branching habit also makes it ideal for hedging.
