Growing Red Dream Escallonia

It needs plenty of sun and a well-drained site is essential. It will grow on most soils and thrives on clay in dry, raised areas that shed water.

It is great for the coast, but you should improve the soil if your site is very sandy.

Escallonia punctata is rated H4 hardiness, so it's suitable for most sheltered, coastal areas of the North and Scotland - colder inland areas may be too much for it.
