Heath 140MM

Erica daviesii

I am Heath. My family originated from South Africa.

Habit Shrub - Winter & Spring Colour

Plant family Ericaceae

I am a charming evergreen heath, a delightful addition to any garden, providing beautiful pink or white bell-shaped flowers that bloom in the winter and early spring months. I have a compact growth habit typically growing up to 1 metre high making me an ideal choice for small gardens or as a container plant. I prefer well-drained soil and a sunny position but tolerate partial shade. A low-maintenance plant I require minimal watering and fertilisation, the perfect for novice gardeners. I am also resistant to most pests and diseases, making me easy and trouble free to grow. You will love me for my aesthetic appeal and ease of care. My beautiful blooms, coupled with my compact growth habit and low-maintenance makes me a plant worth considering in almost every garden style.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

I bloom prolifically from winter through spring with masses of tiny white to pink flowers.

My flowing rounded form makes me ideal for rockeries, borders and beside pathways

Adaptable I am just as happy growing in a pot or other container as I am planted out in the garden
