<i>Erica carnea</i> ‘Nathalie’ | Nathalie Heath
DESCRIPTION
Erica carnea 'Nathalie' is an attractive cultivar of winter heath, prized for its charming appearance and hardy nature. Its needle-like foliage is a vibrant, deep green color, providing year-round interest to the garden. In late winter to early spring, 'Nathalie' bursts into a profusion of small, bell-shaped flowers that completely cover the plant. These blossoms are a soft, pale pink hue, creating a lovely contrast against the green foliage. The blooms persist for several weeks, offering a welcome splash of color during the dreary winter months. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and preferring well-drained, acidic soil, it is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for rock gardens, slopes, or containers where its low, spreading habit can be showcased. 'Nathalie' is a great option for gardeners looking to add color and texture to their winter landscape.
