Escallonia x exoniensis ‘Fradesii’ is a fast-growing evergreen shrub featuring a dense, rounded, and mounding habit, glossy, green foliage and long-lasting clusters of pink flowers. Very commonly used as a hedge. Other uses include screen, windbreak, foundation planting, erosion control. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. It performs best in moist but well-drained sandy, loamy, or silt soils. Moderately tolerant of poor drainage. Best with regular watering, though it gains moderate drought tolerance once established. Thrives in heat but requires supplemental water in dry, arid desert environments. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 10°F.
