Erica Ruby Pearl

Common Name: Ruby Pearl Heath

Description:
Erica ‘Ruby Pearl’ is a vibrant evergreen shrub known for its striking clusters of deep ruby-red, bell-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically from winter through early spring. With fine, needle-like green foliage and a dense, mounded habit, this hardy and low-maintenance plant is perfect for borders, rock gardens, and pots. Thriving in well-drained, acidic soil, it prefers full sun to part shade and is highly tolerant of drought, frost, and coastal conditions. ‘Ruby Pearl’ attracts bees and other pollinators, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Regular pruning after flowering helps maintain its compact shape and encourages further blooming.
