Spring colours


Spring colours (Erica arborea (Briar))

..I was trying to get a pic of the tree heather in flower, but the evergreen broom was getting in the photo. You can see the silver birch trunk on the left and there is also a baby variegated griselina at the back, and of course a viticella clematis shooting up there too!

Thank you so much...won't it be nice when the grisselina grows a bit...see...there I go again... no patience! :)

Excellent choice, the Grisselina are pretty fast growers, love the tree heather, not grow any of these for years.

The tree heather is nice. I'm not a fan of ordinary heathers at all, but these are great...lovely bright foliage through the winter and the flowers are an added extra. Only problem with this one is I need to water it a lot as it sits right beside the tree. Last year it got dry and part of it died off. But I cut it away and it is now fine again.
