Escallonia ‘Glowing Embers’ is a evergreen flowering shrub that earns its place in any garden. Glowing Embers is an escallonia with red flowers and glossy dark green leaves, forming a dense, compact shrub.
Escallonia is one of the best evergreen hedging shrubs for UK gardens, especially by the coast. Its glossy leaves and long summer display of small flowers make an attractive informal hedge.
Escallonia ‘Glowing Embers’ grows best in full sun or part shade, in well-drained soil. It is a good choice for coastal hedging, and also works well for informal flowering hedges, wind-exposed gardens and coastal hedges. It works well with griselinia, olearia and pittosporum.
Water the plant well in its pot an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth, loosen the soil at the base, and mix in some garden compost. Set the plant at the same level it sat in the pot, backfill, firm gently and water in thoroughly.
Water well in the first summer; feed in spring. Trim after flowering; it is exceptionally tolerant of wind and salt spray. Trim after flowering to shape. Leaf spot can occur in wet seasons.
Can grow in containers. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
Every plant is grown at our St Annes nursery in the North West, where it is raised in real British conditions. That means a tougher, well-rooted plant that settles quickly into your garden. This Escallonia ‘Glowing Embers’ is supplied in a 3L pot. Container-grown plants can be planted almost all year round, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged; autumn and spring are ideal.
