Escallonia 'Pinky Carpet' is a delightful evergreen shrub that boasts a compact, ground-hugging form adorned with an abundance of charming pink flowers. This low-maintenance plant is particularly prized for its ability to serve as an effective groundcover, making it an excellent choice for coastal gardens and container arrangements. Its glossy green leaves and extended flowering period ensure that it remains a vibrant and practical addition to any garden throughout the year.

Reaching a height of 40 cm (16 in) and spreading up to 100 cm (39 in), this low-growing shrub forms a dense mat that enhances the landscape with its cheerful blooms. The small, tubular flowers emerge in summer, creating a stunning display that attracts bees and other pollinators. The evergreen foliage not only provides year-round structure but also thrives in full sun, although it can tolerate partial shade, making it versatile for various garden settings.

Ideal for front borders, informal edging, or slope stabilization, Escallonia 'Pinky Carpet' is well-suited for pots and troughs, provided they have adequate drainage. It flourishes in well-drained, fertile soil but can adapt to poorer conditions, avoiding waterlogged environments. With minimal maintenance required, a light trim after flowering can help maintain its tidy appearance, allowing it to pair beautifully with companions like helianthemum, dwarf lavender, artemisia, and creeping thyme.

Growing Information

Grow Escallonia plants on fertile, well-drained soil in full sun with shelter from cold, drying winds.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
