   Are ericas a good plant?

   Where should ericas grow?

   • However, as most ericas like similar growing conditions – a sunny spot in free-draining, acid to neutral soil – your choice will mainly be down to flower colour, flowering time and plant size: Flowers come in many shades of purple, mauve, pink, red, cream and white.

   Should Erica be pruned 'down' in the garden?

   • If winter heather plants, including Erica, are not pruned regularly, they will produce flowers on long woody stems. This will result in an unattractive shape for the plants and, over time, they will lose their nice compact ground-covering characteristics. It’s therefore also a good idea to keep Erica 'down' in the garden by pruning.

   Are ericas evergreen?

   • Generally known as heaths and heathers, ericas are usually small evergreen shrubs that bloom over a long period, with masses of tiny flowers in shades of purple, mauve, pink, red or white. In gardens they’re traditionally grown as ground cover, low hedging or winter bedding, although a few, known as tree heathers, make more substantial shrubs.
