Erica carnea 'Aurea'
Erica carnea 'Aurea' is a vibrant evergreen Heather known for its bright golden foliage and masses of soft pink flowers that appear from late winter into early spring. The colourful foliage holds its warm tones throughout the colder months, creating a striking contrast in borders, rockeries, or winter planting schemes.
Compact, hardy, and easy to grow, ‘Aurea’ thrives in acidic, well-drained soil and full sun, providing reliable early-season colour when the garden needs it most. Its low, spreading habit makes it excellent for groundcover and edging.
