Erica carnea 'Saskia' - Saskia Heather

Market price from $3.10 to $4.60

Erica carnea 'Saskia' is a delight to the senses, combining vibrant hues and low-maintenance resilience. As a winter-hardy evergreen shrub, the Saskia Heather imitates a pop of color amidst the frosty months, thanks to its clusters of bright pink, bell-shaped flowers that bloom from late winter to early spring. Amidst these blossoms, the plant flaunts a tapestry of needle-like, dark green leaves, which acquire a charming bronze hue in cooler weather. With a compact stature growing up to half a foot tall and 1. 5 feet wide, this plant is an ideal selection for creating appealing rock gardens, defining borders or adding life to your general garden landscape. Its ability to thrive in well-drained, acidic soil, under the full sun to partial shade, demonstrates a versatility suitable for a range of garden conditions. Excelling in USDA zones 5-7, Saskia Heather promises an enduring beauty that extends far beyond its modest water needs.
