Pink Winter Heath 140MM

Erica carnea 'Pink Pearl'

I am Pink Winter Heath. My family originated from South Africa.

Habit Shrub - Winter Colour
Plant family Ericaceae
I am a stunning heather with brilliant clusters of tiny pearly pink blooms on bushy upright stems from late winter to mid spring. I will perform at my best in well-drained soil with acidic pH and in a spot with partial to full sun exposure. I am hardy to frost once established. I am a relatively low maintenance plant and require minimal care. However, it is important to keep me well-watered, especially during dry periods, and to fertilise me with a quality slow release fertiliser annually in spring to promote healthy growth. I benefit from a prune to shape at the end of my flowering season. I am a great choice to brighten and create contrast and texture in your garden. I am great at attracting bees and other beneficial insects. I look forward to growing with you and bringing joy to your garden!
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My deep green bushy upright stems produce large clusters of beautiful pearly pink blooms in winter and spring
My dense form and upright stems suit me to being planted in 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
