Erica Alba Heather

Erica ‘Mediterranean White’ brings a bright, elegant touch to the winter landscape, covering itself in dense clusters of pure white, bell-shaped flowers from late fall through early spring. Unlike many heathers, this hardy, evergreen variety thrives in poor soils, withstands drought once established, and shrugs off deer. Its fine-textured, deep green foliage creates a low, spreading mound, perfect for rock gardens, borders, and mass plantings. Cold-tolerant and low-maintenance, ‘Mediterranean White’ keeps the garden lively even in the dullest months.

Watering

Watering Needs:

Keep soil evenly moist
  • Light: Thrives in full sun to light shade; best flowering in bright light.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, acidic soil; tolerates sandy and rocky conditions.
  • Watering: Water regularly when young; once established, drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering.
  • Maintenance: Trim lightly after flowering to maintain compact shape—avoid cutting into old wood.
  • Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 5-9—cold-resistant and durable in varied climates.
  • Additional Tips: Ideal for rock gardens, slopes, borders, and winter interest plantings. Evergreen, deer-resistant, and one of the longest-blooming heathers!
