Notes
'Nathalie' winter heath (Erica carnea 'Nathalie') 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 a dense, evergreen plant that grows slowly, and bees visit its winter and spring flowers. Deer tend to pass it by. Plant it where you can see the winter color.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Common holly, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
