Spring heather – early flowering and beautiful colors
Spring heather is known for its ability to bloom when most other plants are still dormant. Erica heather produces small bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple or white, and its evergreen leaves ensure a decorative look all year round. The plant thrives best in acidic soil and in sunny to semi-shady locations, making it ideal for pots, beds and acidic beds.
How to be successful with heather
To ensure your spring heather thrives, it is important to choose a well-drained, acidic soil with a pH between 4 and 5. When newly planted, water regularly. After flowering, you can cut back lightly to maintain a compact and decorative shape. Plant in groups for maximum visual effect, and combine varieties with different flowering times for a longer play of color in the garden.
