NEW PLANT

Most new plants are not worth our time and effort growing, but every once in a while, something comes along a bit special: Escallonia 'Golden Carpet' is certainly one such

It give you bright yellow/golden foliage all summer on a pleasant compact little bush about 40cm wide x 60cm high.

A bonus is small red flowers from June to August.  Whilst these are small, they contrast pleasantly wit the bright foliage.

It will do well in part shade or full sun.  In full sun, it will not scorch as do many yellow leaved plants.

It is available from Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants.
