Heath 'Kramer's Rote'
Erica x darleyensis 'Kramer's Rote'
1 quart pot
 
This hybrid heath has compact form and an upright, bushy habit. Its small, bell-shaped flowers are clear reddish purple and are arranged along stems held at varying angles, which creates textural interest. 'Kramer's Rote' blooms from December into April, its flowers smothering the evergreen, needle-like, bronze-green to dark green leaves.
 
Mass plantings of this heath create an excellent groundcover for sunny locations, providing outstanding winter interest. Heaths add interest to winter containers and produce nectar that attracts bees on mild winter days.
