'Adrienne Duncan' winter heath (Erica carnea 'Adrienne Duncan') is a shrub for borders, rock gardens, containers, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy soil. It is evergreen, and bees visit the blooms in winter and spring. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows slowly and stays dense.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Common holly, and Little bluestem.
