   Generally known as heaths and heathers, ericas are colourful, evergreen, hardy and easy to grow. So it’s not surprising they’re such long-standing garden favourites, used in borders, containers, rock gardens, bee-friendly plantings and winter bedding displays. Most ericas like free-draining, neutral to acidic soil and lots of sun.

   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.

   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.
