Erica × veitchii 'Gold Tips'
Erica × veitchii 'Gold Tips' is a striking winter-flowering heath, producing masses of creamy white tubular flowers that brighten the garden during the coldest months. Its evergreen foliage is finely textured and needle-like, with distinctive golden tips that provide colour and contrast all year round. This compact, bushy shrub brings structure and winter interest to borders, rockeries and containers while supporting early pollinators.
Easy to grow and tolerant of poor, acidic soils, ‘Gold Tips’ thrives in sunny, well-drained positions and is ideal for low-maintenance planting schemes. Its hardy nature and long flowering season make it a reliable choice for gardeners looking to add brightness and texture through winter and early spring.
