Cornish Heath 'Mrs D.F. Maxwell'

Erica vagans 'Mrs D.F. Maxwell' is a beautiful, spreading evergreen heath, forming a dense carpet of needle-like green leaves. In late summer through autumn, it produces abundant upright spires of deep carmine-pink flowers, providing a vibrant display when many other plants are fading. This hardy heath thrives in acidic, well-drained soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for heathland gardens, rockeries, or ground cover in open, sunny positions across the UK. It's relatively low maintenance and attracts pollinators, adding ecological value to the garden.
