Erica daviesii

Common Name: Davies’ Heath

Description:
Erica daviesii is a rare and beautiful evergreen shrub known for its delicate, tubular flowers that range from white to pale pink. Blooming from late autumn through winter, this hardy plant provides vital nectar for bees and other pollinators during the cooler months. Its fine, needle-like green foliage forms a dense, compact habit, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, and container planting. Thriving in well-drained, acidic soil, Erica daviesii prefers full sun to part shade and is highly tolerant of coastal conditions, frost, and drought. Regular pruning after flowering helps maintain a tidy shape and encourages further blooming.
