Notes
'White Perfection' tree heath (Erica darleyensis 'White Perfection') is a low maintenance 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 stays evergreen and blooms from early to late winter and again in spring, and bees visit the flowers. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Silver Queen winter creeper, Daffodil, and Midwinter Fire common dogwood.
