Common Name:
White Escallonia – Hedge With An Edge®

Description:
Escallonia ‘White HEDGE WITH AN EDGE®’ is a compact, evergreen shrub selected for its crisp white flowers and tidy, dense growth habit. This variety is part of the renowned HEDGE WITH AN EDGE® series, developed specifically for low-maintenance, high-impact hedging. It features small, glossy green leaves and masses of pure white tubular flowers that appear from late spring through to autumn, creating a luminous display. Ideal for Melbourne gardens, this hardy shrub thrives in full sun to part shade and performs well in coastal conditions, tolerating wind, salt, and light frost. Its naturally compact form makes it perfect for low hedges, borders, and foundation planting, while also being highly responsive to clipping. Drought-tolerant once established and resistant to common pests and diseases, it’s a reliable, long-lived option for structured or informal gardens alike.
