ERICA x darleyensis 'Mediterranean White'
Hybrid Heath, Mediterranean White Heath
One of many cultivars of this hybrid heath, this vigorous low evergreen shrub bears sprays of fragrant white bell-shaped flowers over many weeks in winter and early spring. The small, needle-like, whorled leaves are medium green.
'Mediterranean White' prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil, full sun, and protection from drying winds. It accepts neutral soil and short periods of drought. It works well in the rock garden, or as an edging or ground cover.
