Escallonia 'Lades' is the latest breeding effort to create more winter hardy, disease resistant escallonias. Escallonias, which are mostly evergreen shrubs that hail from Central and South American typically fail to thrive in our climate, so we were excited of hear of this new selection by nurseryman Ludovic Ladan of France. This new selection has already been awarded the prestigous RHS Award of Garden Merit. It's still pretty new, but we're promised a mature size of 4' tall x 3' wide. The branches are covered in spikes of fragrant pink flowers starting in June.
