A dazzling evergreen shrub that brings vibrant colour to the garden with its profusion of deep crimson red flowers that bloom from summer through autumn, creating a striking display against glossy green foliage. The abundant blooms not only add visual drama but also attract pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife friendly spaces. More compact than many escallonias, its dense, bushy growth habit makes it perfect for flowering hedges, coastal gardens or as a standalone specimen in borders. Thriving in full sun and well drained soil, it shows excellent resistance to salt spray and windy conditions, making it particularly suited to exposed coastal sites. With its long flowering season, rich colour and tough constitution, this outstanding shrub delivers both beauty and resilience in equal measure.
