ERICA (Heath and Heather) 
Scotch Heather 
A compact, low-growing evergreen, it is an ideal plant for covering banks, for individual groups 
in the rock-garden, or in the foreground of evergreen plantings. When large plantings are intended, 
remember not only the beauty of the flowers but consider the amazing fall coloring of the foliage in 
some varieties. We recommend an annual clipping or shearing to keep it trim-looking. Grows best 
in a peaty soil.
