Alpine Heath

Erica carnea is an evergreen, spreading shrub that is well up to coping with the fickle UK weather. There’s no worry about frosts and snow with this little lady, hence her common name of Alpine Heath. She sports needle like leaves, and from late winter through to the spring becomes covered in pink, red and, on occasion, white blooms. This makes it a great choice for adding early season colour to the garden. Add to this that she’s easy to grow and requires little maintenance, and you can see she makes a fabulous choice for anyone looking for an addition to a low-maintenance garden.
