Erica × darleyensis 'Margaret Porter'
Erica × darleyensis 'Margaret Porter' is a compact evergreen heather producing masses of soft pink flowers from late winter into early spring. The colourful blooms brighten the garden during the colder months and stand out beautifully against the neat green foliage.
This variety forms a low, spreading mound that provides useful year-round structure and makes excellent groundcover. Its compact habit is ideal for border edges, rock gardens, containers and mass planting, where it can create an attractive carpet of seasonal colour.
Hardy, reliable and easy to grow, this heather performs best in full sun in well-drained soil and is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain a neat, bushy shape.
