‘Purple Beauty’
at Digging Dog
Twisted Heath
Heath
Heaths have fine, short, needlelike evergreen leaves that vary from deep green to silver, gold, or chartreuse. Tiny, urn-shaped flowers sparkle like hoarfrost, in shades from white to pinks and rosy purples. Though most floriferous in winter and early spring, (and highly welcome at that dreary time!), a scheme for year-round color can be developed by combining with Callunas. Erica cinerea ‘Purple Beauty’ 
It was a British couple, Mr. and Mrs. Letts, whose keen eyes first noted this summer flowering beauty in the wilds of Cornwall and later introduced it. Ample-sized, more than abundant and long blooming, the luminous amethyst flowers sparkle like gems upon ‘Purple Beauty’s vigorous, low growing habit that makes an exquisite, dark green bushy ground cover.
Blooms June–October. Size: 12" high x 22" wide; hardy to zone 5. Erica cinerea Purple Beauty (S-0471)
