Erica gracilis


Erica gracilis (Erica gracilis)

Bought this heath today and potted it up. Anyone know which Erica it is. The label said Erica Gr Rot (the rot being German for red of course)? It looks good on my terrace.

Dunno - but very nice!

Very pretty

Think I know now - just saw some in my local garden centre labelled as erica gracillis - so that would account for the GR! They are lovely, aren't they - and certainly very graceful.

I have recently bought some erica carnea "Foxgrove" which has lovely yellow/bronze/orange foliage. Label says that it has pink flowers, so I am not too sure of the total colour combo (bit eye-watering) - but the foliage is worth it alone.

Thanks Clairefifi, that sounds about right.

Love the colour of this Chris. I have a few Ericas - my way of remembering my lovely daughter Erika!
