Erica carnea 'Springwood Pink' | Springwood Pink Winter Heath
DESCRIPTION
Erica carnea 'Springwood Pink' is a reliable winter-flowering heather, renowned for its delicate pink blooms that appear from late winter into early spring. The small, bell-shaped flowers densely cover the stems, creating a cheerful display during the colder months when few other plants are in bloom. The evergreen foliage, a vibrant green, provides a lush backdrop that enhances the floral display.
This cultivar originated from the European Alps, where it thrives in cool, mountainous conditions. It is particularly valued for its ability to provide winter interest and ground cover in garden settings. Its spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for edging pathways, filling gaps in rock gardens, or cascading over walls, bringing color and life to otherwise dormant landscapes.
