Notes
'Springwood Pink' winter heath (Erica carnea 'Springwood Pink') is a shrub for borders, rock gardens, ground cover, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This evergreen forms a dense, low mound, blooms in winter and spring, and attracts bees. It sits low on the menu for deer.
