Erica Aurora

Common Name: Aurora Heath

Description:
Erica ‘Aurora’ is a compact and free-flowering evergreen shrub, admired for its dense clusters of delicate, tubular flowers in soft pink to deep rose hues. Blooming from winter through spring, this hardy plant provides a vibrant splash of colour when many other plants are dormant. Its fine, needle-like green foliage forms a neat, mounded shape, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and pots. ‘Aurora’ thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and prefers full sun to part shade. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
