aka Erica or Heath

An attractive little shrub with needles of green foliage topped off with interesting tubular flowers that are shaded white with green overtones. Flowers on and off for months mainly during the winter months. Plant in a sunny well drained spot, preferably in acid soil. Evergreen.

Ericas can be given a tidy up trim after flowering. Be mindful that they don't like a lot of fertilizer and they definitely don't like lime. Other than that, they are reasonably tough, hardy and easy care.
