‘December Red’ Winter Heath

Erica carnea 6-8" x 18" From a seedling raised at the RHS garden in Wisley, England, 1966. Also called Snow Heath.

Especially distinct bell-shaped flowers emerge bright pink and mature to purple-red. Profuse blooms very early spring through April with repeat blooms in August. Medium-green foliage is more ferny and wispier than heathers. Mounded mat-like growth habit. This spring, our Ericas bloomed through a crust of snow for an explosion of flowers with bees of all kinds clambering for the early nectar. Ericas have become a favorite of ours. You won’t be able to resist the urge to pet it when you walk past. Super low-maintenance. Plant en masse to create a magical carpet. Species native to the Alps and the British Isles. Z4. (4" pots)
