Erica arborea f. aureifolia 'Estrella Gold' | Estrella Gold Tree Heather

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Erica arborea f. aureifolia 'Estrella Gold' produces airy clusters of small, urn-shaped white flowers in late winter to early spring, the delicate blooms opening along the upright branches. The blossoms appear among fine, needle-like leaves colored bright golden yellow that soften to chartreuse tones as the season progresses. Vertical stems create a narrow, upright framework, and the dense evergreen foliage forms a soft, feathery texture throughout the year.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Erica arborea native to the Mediterranean region and parts of western Europe. In gardens it brings year-round structure to borders, heather plantings, and sunny landscapes where the golden foliage and early flowers add seasonal brightness.
