Erica carnea 'December Red'
This winter-flowering evergreen cultivar develops into a compact, spreading mound reaching approximately 30cm in height with a 45cm spread. Dense, dark green foliage provides year-round structure, while abundant blooms emerge in soft pink tones during the colder months, gradually intensifying to rich purple-pink as temperatures drop. An excellent choice for alpine gardens, rock gardens, and mixed borders seeking reliable winter colour and architectural interest.
