DESCRIPTION
Escallonia x langleyensis 'Pride of Donard' produces clusters of rosy pink, tubular flowers from early summer into fall, creating a long season of color that attracts bees and other pollinators. Small, glossy leaves are deep green and densely arranged along the branches, forming a refined evergreen framework.
