Erica canaliculata 'Rosea' (Heath) - This is an erect, bushy evergreen shrub growing to 6 feet tall and as wide. Pink bell-shaped flowers bloom profusely at the ends of the lateral branches in fall and winter. It grows well in full coastal sun to light shade. Tolerates heavy soil with little to occasional irrigation - best if not over irrigated in summer. As it is tender to frost (Hardy to around 25F), this plant is often grown as a container plant in protected areas.
This information about Erica canaliculata 'Rosea' displayed on this web page is based on research we have conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources.
