Erica carnea ‘Purple Beauty’

Value: $ 15 

This is a low, mounding evergreen shrub, usually around 1 foot high and 2-3 feet broad when mature. It has dark green foliage and produces masses of short flower spikes with small, bright dark rosy purple blossoms in summer and fall. This hardy erica will thrive in full sun along the coast, and light shade inland, needing well drained, preferably acid soil and moderate watering. Hardy to 0 degrees.
