Escallonia laevis 'Gold Brian'
One of the best plants available to light up a shady area. New foliage is a soft lime green and gradually turns to more golden tones. The flowers are a rosy pink and appear in summer. Happiest with protection from the afternoon sun. Trims well, making it ideal as a hedge
