Notes
'Pink Ice' bell heather (Erica cinerea 'Pink Ice') is a shrub for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies and hummingbirds visit the flowers. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with May Night salvia, Fountain grass, and Chaste tree.
