Erica x darleyensis ‘Kramers Rote (Winter Heath)

Clouds of magenta flowers Jan-April light up a dreary winter offering a vibrant textural groundcover. Evergreen needlelike foliage looks tidy all year on this compact evergreen shrublet. Excels at smothering weeds. A quick haircut immediately after blooms look tired is all it needs to look tidy. 18” tall x 24” w. Full- Part sun in well-drained soil. Deer resistant and drought tolerant. Water regularly till established and it appreciates a bit of mulch. Provides early season nectar to foraging bees on mild days. Makes a cute display as a cut flower, in a bud vase. Award of Garden Merit by the RHS. Perennial Zones 6-9
