Notes
'Isabell' tree heath (Erica carnea 'Isabell') 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. It is a slow-growing evergreen with a dense habit that blooms in winter and spring, and bees visit the flowers. Deer tend to pass it by. Plant it where you can see the winter blooms.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Strawberry tree, and Anemone.
