Escallonia Laevis Gold Brian

Escallonia Laevis Gold Brian

An evergreen escallonia with glossy, yellowvariegated foliage and clusters of pink summer flowers, Escallonia laevis Gold Brian brings longseason colour and a neat, bushy habit to Irish gardens. Best in full sun or light shade and fertile, welldrained soil, its useful for informal hedging, mixed borders and coastal sites, with a moderate growth rate and yearround leaf interest.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
