Description:
Erica carnea Ruby Glow is a low-growing, evergreen shrub that produces abundant deep ruby-red flowers from winter to early spring. Its fine, needle-like foliage remains green year-round, often developing bronze or purple hues in colder months. This hardy winter-flowering heather thrives in well-drained, acidic to neutral soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, and ground cover, Ruby Glow is drought-tolerant once established and attracts pollinators, adding vibrant colour to the winter landscape. Grows to approx 20cm tall and spreads 40cm wide, forming a dense, mat-like ground cover.
