Heather
Erica carnea Pink Spangles
A compact, flat-growing, dwarf evergreen bush which produces a dynamic, bi-coloured winter floral display of shell-pink blooms with deeper pink tips. These are produced in ornamental racemes and emerge from attractive, lime-coloured buds between January and April, complimenting the spiny, mid- to dark green foliage beautifully. It is quite a vigorous grower with a gracious, spreading form that’s great for using in mass plantings to add a splash of colour to the winter garden, or for using as a groundcover plant. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a neat, compact habit
