    Erica carnea 'Snow White'

    Known as the 'Winter Heath' or 'Alpine Heath' Erica carnea and its many cultivars are perhaps the most adaptable and hardy of all the heathers. Originating from the European Alps it is used to high altitudes and very cold temperatures. It will grow as happily on soils containing lime as in acid conditions, but the addition of peat is always beneficial both for aerating heavy soils and retaining moisture in sandy soils. All heathers have fibrous roots and these dislike compaction.

    All cultivars are low growing and suitable for ground cover, some being better suited than others for this purpose. The flowers continue through winter - frost, snow, rain, and wind - offering what must be the best value of almost any garden plant. As with most heathers planting in large drifts is most effective. Remember to plant in full sun to get best flowering results.
