Erica cinerea is a low growing evergreen shrub with delicate, needle-like foliage.
They produce very pretty panicles of small, bell-shaped flowers from early summer through to autumn.
Erica cinerea like full sun, but scorching hot summer sun will not be tolerated easily without some afternoon shade.
Very pretty and colourful groundcovers, they go well alongside paths and interspersed at the front of borders.
