$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Escallonia x exoniensis 'Fradesii' produces clusters of rose-pink, tubular flowers from early summer into fall, creating a long-lasting display that attracts bees and other pollinators. Small, glossy leaves are dark green and closely arranged along the stems. The foliage maintains a polished appearance throughout the year, while the abundant flowers are borne near the branch tips, adding color and movement over an extended season.

Originating from hybrid breeding involving South American species, this cultivar reflects selection focused on ornamental appeal and prolonged flowering. It is well suited to borders, coastal gardens, foundation plantings, and informal hedging, where its evergreen foliage and extended bloom period provide year-round structure and seasonal interest.
