Erica carnea ‘Myretoun Ruby’
Erica carnea ‘Myretoun Ruby’

Erica

Heath

Heaths have fine, short, needle-like evergreen leaves that vary from deep green to silver, gold, or chartreuse. Tiny urn-shaped flowers sparkle like hoarfrost in shades from white to pink and rosy purple. 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 Ericas with Cal­lunas.

PREORDER FOR SPRING 2025

<i>Erica carnea</i> ‘Myretoun Ruby’

Donning the name of a castle in Wigton, Scotland, ‘Myretoun Ruby’s low-spreading forest-green needles and deep reddish purple blooms achieve a gem-like richness. Perhaps the darkest red flowering carnea in cultivation, this Erica’s saturated blossoms age with bright crimson highlights. Nestle beside Ajuga ‘Chocolate Chip’, and relish the cold weather splendor.

Blooms December–March

Size: 10" – 12" high x 2' 0" wide.

Hardy to zone 5.
