Escallonia laevis 'Gold Brian' | Gold Brian Escallonia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Escallonia laevis 'Gold Brian' produces clusters of small rosy pink flowers in early to mid summer, the delicate blooms opening in rounded groups along the branch tips. The blossoms appear among glossy evergreen leaves edged with warm golden-yellow margins that brighten the foliage throughout the year. The oval leaves create a dense covering along the stems, giving the plant a full, colorful presence in the garden.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Escallonia species native to South America, particularly Chile and Argentina. In gardens it provides year-round structure for borders, hedges, and coastal landscapes where the golden foliage and summer flowers bring lasting color.
