Escallonia laevis ‘Pink Lemon’ Plant – 2Ltr Pot

Escallonia ‘Pink Lemon’ is a compact evergreen shrub with glossy lime-green to yellow foliage and clusters of soft pink summer flowers. Supplied in a 2 litre pot, it brings lasting colour and structure to borders, patio containers and informal hedging.

Key Features

  • Bright evergreen foliage provides year-round colour and contrast.

  • Blush-pink flowers from June to September create a long seasonal display.

  • Compact, bushy growth suits smaller gardens and patio pots.

  • Pollinator-friendly flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects.

  • Tolerates coastal conditions, including wind and salt spray.

  • Low-maintenance and drought tolerant once established, reducing ongoing care.

Product Description

A variant of ‘Pink Elle’, Escallonia laevis ‘Pink Lemon’ combines fresh foliage colour with a naturally dense, rounded habit. Its leathery, glossy leaves range from lime-green to yellow, brightening mixed planting schemes and contrasting beautifully with darker shrubs.

Throughout summer and into early autumn, clusters of small, tubular blush-pink flowers appear above the foliage. The delicately scented blooms fade to paler shades as they mature, creating a soft, varied display that attracts visiting pollinators.

Reaching approximately 1.2m tall, this compact escallonia works well in borders, large patio containers or as a low informal hedge. Its tolerance of salt spray makes it useful for coastal gardens, while a sunny position and well-drained soil help it perform at its best.

Care Tips

  • Ensure the soil drains freely, particularly during winter.

  • Water regularly while establishing, then during prolonged dry spells.

  • Check container-grown plants frequently, as pots dry out more quickly than garden soil.

  • Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a neat shape.

  • Apply mulch around the base in spring, keeping it clear of the stems.

Add Escallonia ‘Pink Lemon’ to your garden for bright evergreen foliage and a long display of soft pink flowers.
