ERICA
CARNEA |
| Winter Heather One of the
hardiest of all the heathers and easy to grow. All have
a prostrate carpeting habit that rarely require pruning.
Carneas provide reliable winter color. They are fast growing
and good at smothering weeds. Carneas should be pruned
in late spring after flowering. ZONE 4 |
