Erica australis 'Holehird'
Erica 'Holehird' is an attractive evergreen shrub producing masses of lilac-pink, bell-shaped flowers from spring into early summer. The colourful blooms stand out beautifully against the fine, dark green foliage and provide valuable seasonal interest.
Its upright, bushy habit gives 'Holehird' more presence than many lower-growing heathers, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, heathland-style planting and sunny shrub schemes. The flowers are also attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
Hardy and reliable in suitable conditions, 'Holehird' performs best in full sun in moist but well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions and lightly trim after flowering where required to maintain a neat shape.
