Notes
'Pink Spangles' winter heath (Erica carnea 'Pink Spangles') is a shrub for borders, containers, rock gardens, 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 draws bees with flowers that open in winter and last into spring. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Be patient, because it grows slowly.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Japanese holly.
