Escallonia Red Dream

Escallonia ‘Red Dream’ is a compact evergreen shrub that delivers an impressive display of vibrant red-pink flowers over a long flowering season. Blooming from late spring through summer, and often into autumn, this hardy shrub becomes covered in masses of colourful blooms that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators to the garden.

Its small glossy dark green leaves provide an attractive backdrop to the flowers and create year-round structure, making it an excellent choice for low hedges, borders, coastal gardens and mass planting. The naturally dense growth habit means it forms a neat mound with minimal maintenance while still providing excellent colour and garden interest.

Like other escallonias, ‘Red Dream’ is exceptionally tough and performs well in challenging conditions, including wind, coastal exposure and periods of summer dryness. Its compact size makes it particularly useful for smaller gardens where larger shrubs may become overwhelming.

Easy to grow and highly rewarding, Escallonia ‘Red Dream’ is perfect for gardeners wanting reliable colour, evergreen foliage and low-maintenance performance.
