Mediterranean heath
Erica multiflora
Mediterranean heath is a compact, floriferous evergreen shrub that produces masses of small pink to mauve bell-shaped flowers from autumn through spring. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a sunny to lightly shaded position, and dislikes waterlogged conditions. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a tidy shape and encourages fresh growth.
