Erica arborea f. aureifolia 'Estrella Gold'
Erica 'Estrella Gold' is an upright evergreen shrub with fine, aromatic foliage in striking shades of bright golden-yellow. Its colourful foliage provides strong structure and year-round interest, becoming particularly eye-catching during the winter months.
Small white flowers appear in spring, contrasting beautifully with the golden foliage and providing an early source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects. Its fine texture and upright habit make it an attractive architectural addition to mixed planting schemes.
Ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens, coastal planting and large containers, 'Estrella Gold' develops its best foliage colour in full sun. Grow in well-drained acidic soil and avoid waterlogged conditions, particularly during winter.
