Erica x darleyensis pink, or Winter Heath, is a popular plant that establishes quickly for a dense ground cover or border. Mounding evergreen shrub with terrific winter colour, its pink flowers last through early spring.
Performs best in full sun in sandy, acidic, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Part shade is welcomed in hot summer areas. Newly planted Heath can dry out quickly once planted, so it is important to water regularly and thoroughly when the plant is young.
Easy to grow, this plant is a welcomed addition to rock gardens, groundcover, slopes, coastal gardens, cottage gardens, or container. Plant in groups for the best visual impact.
