This hardy and easy to grow variety is great for creating low borders and hedging. It looks gorgeous along paths, retaining walls and driveways - giving an elegant formal touch to any garden.
If using Escallonia 'Hedge with an Edge' for the purpose of a small hedge, plant approximately 50cm apart for a full effect.
