Notes
'Rosalie' winter heath (Erica carnea 'Rosalie') is an evergreen 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 has a dense habit and grows slowly, and bees visit the blooms in winter and spring. It sits low on the menu for deer. Plant it where you can enjoy the color in the cold months.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Ice plant, and Japanese holly.
