The flowers of Escallonia White Profusion are the main highlight of this cultivar. They are abundant, small, and tubular, with a pure white color that contrasts beautifully against the dark green foliage. The flowers are borne in clusters at the ends of the branches, creating a profusion of blooms during the flowering season, which typically occurs in summer or early fall, depending on the climate.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Escallonia White Profusion is also known for its ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a beneficial addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. It is also considered to be relatively drought-tolerant once established, although it prefers well-drained soils and regular watering.
Plant in a sunny or part - sun situation with good drainage. Can tolerate high winds and dry soil but this will slow growth. Hardy down to minus 10.
