Erica Ruby Shepherd Details

Erica Ruby Shepherd is a colourful, evergreen shrub grown for its flowers and foliage. This Heath produces showy clusters of small, rose-pink flowers through spring and summer which literally transforms the plant. This foliage comprises fine, dark green leaves held on upright stems. It typically grows to 60 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It will grow well in partial shade but flowering is likely to be less profuse. It is tolerant of moderate frost, dry periods, coastal conditions, and some wind. Erica Ruby Shepherd is commonly added to a mixed planting, included in cottage gardens, grown in a container, or planted en masse for a stunning display.
