These small evergreen shrubs more than earn their keep, with long-lasting, colourful flower displays, often in winter when little else is in bloom. They are ideal for small gardens and containers or can be massed together in borders to create a tapestry of colours that change through the seasons.

   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.

   Can ericas grow in containers?

   • If you find that your soil is too alkaline for ericas, you can still grow them in containers, using ericaceous (acidic) compost. Ericas also like free-draining soil, and once settled in are fairly tolerant of drought. They don't like to sit in damp  or waterlogged soil, as they are prone to rotting. Most ericas need an open, sunny site.
