Notes
'Eva' tree heath (Erica carnea 'Eva') is a shrub for borders, rock gardens, ground cover, 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. This dense evergreen grows slowly and blooms in winter and spring. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Sasanqua camellia, Mondo grass, and Anemone.
