Escallonia
The Escallonia is a beautiful, flowering ornamental shrub that largely retains its green leaves all year round, even in winter. With its clusters of small, tubular flowers, this plant provides a striking colour spectacle in the garden. The deep, dark green leaves form a beautiful contrast with the colourful flower clusters. In addition, the Escallonia is a favourite of pollinators such as bumblebees and bees.
