Escallonia x ‘Newport Dwarf’ is a low-maintenance, broadleaf evergreen shrub featuring a dense, mounding habit, glossy, dark green, oval, and leathery leaves, and clusters of deep pink, magenta, or reddish-pink trumpet-shaped flowers. Uses include low borders, low hedge, foundation plant, mass planting, groundcover. Suppresses weeds. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Medium to low water needs. Requires regular watering to establish, but is drought resistant once established. It thrives in average, well-drained loam or sandy soils. Cannot tolerate heavy, waterlogged mud or highly alkaline soil. It prefers full sun; tolerates partial shade but becomes more open and produces less flowers in heavy shade. Requires afternoon shade in hot climates. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant when maintained properly. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 10°F.
