Product description
Escallonia Glowing Embers is an evergreen shrub that creates a showy look in the garden, largely down to the attractive colour in the plants foliage. An orange-red tint will show in Spring to begin the year with bright shades. Then, as the plant matures, colours of yellow and mid-green will form to create a greater balance to fit the colder months later in the year. Escallonia should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. Drier spells should see the plant being watered regularly, with the Winter months seeing you protect the plants foliage against lower, bitter temperatures.

Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
