Description
Erica spp. (Heather) are evergreen, low-growing flowering shrubs prized for their fine texture, year-round foliage, and seasonal blooms that provide color when few other plants are flowering. Depending on the species and cultivar, Erica blooms from late fall through early spring, producing small urn-shaped flowers in shades of pink, rose, lavender, or white.
Plants form a dense, mounded to spreading habit with needle-like evergreen foliage that often takes on bronze or reddish tones in cold weather. Heather is excellent for groundcover, rock gardens, borders, slopes, and mass plantings, especially in acid-loving landscapes.
