Cultivar Notes -
Arthur Johnson
Bushy shrub with lance-shaped, mid-green leaves. Produces reddish-pink purple flowers from November to May! Requires protection from winter winds.
Species Notes -
Erica x darleyensis
A taller growing shrub than Erica carnea, generally between 12" and 24" tall and more bushy. It is useful at adding winter color at greater heights. It is loved for its early bloom and evergreen presence and forms bristling splashes of pink, white, purple, or red blooms in the landscape which are at their best with dwarf evergreens, conifers, and mixed plantings of heathers. Buds form in late summer and early fall, and some cultivars begin blooming as early as late September, often lasting until April. Slightly acid to alkaline soils.
Genus Notes -
Erica
Heaths have fine, short, needlelike evergreen leaves that vary from deep green to silver, gold, or chartreuse. Tiny, urn-shaped flowers sparkle like hoarfrost, in shades from white to pinks and rosy purples. Though most floriferous in winter and early spring, (and highly welcome at that dreary time!), a scheme for year-round color can be developed by combining with Callunas.
