   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.

   Can Erica Heather grow in pots?

   • Place Erica in close vicinity with camellia, rhododendron and Azalea: that way, you’ll only have to control soil acidity for a single growing bed. Thanks to its rather slow growth, Erica heather is very well suited to being grown in pots. You’ll be surprised to see that this plant can stay for years in the same old 12 inch (30 cm)-deep pot.
