#ProPlantTips for Care:
Flowering and growing best in full sun, Pink Princess has an easy-going nature, and once it's established in rich, well-drained soil, these shrubs won't need much more than regular water to keep them growing happy! Prune if needed in the early spring to remove dead or crossing branches, but wait to sheer or heavily prune after the flowers fade. You can also renewal prune by removing older, less vigorous stems every 3-5 years. Appreciating a 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch, Escallonia do prefer their soil slightly on the acidic side.
- Full Sun Native Evergreen
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Tolerates Drought & Neglect
- Prune in Early Spring
- Very Hardy & Adaptable
