Erica ‘White Perfection’ is a low evergreen shrub that earns its place in any garden. White Perfection is a winter-flowering heather with pure white flowers and bright green foliage.
Ericas, or heathers, are low, evergreen shrubs that provide colour when the garden is otherwise quiet. Winter-flowering types tolerate a range of soils and bring welcome food for early bees.
Erica ‘White Perfection’ grows best in full sun, in free-draining, acidic to neutral soil. It is a good choice for winter containers, and also works well for ground cover, heather beds and rock gardens. Pair it with dwarf conifers, skimmias and grasses.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Water in dry spells; avoid rich feeding. Trim lightly after flowering to keep plants dense. Plants become woody if they are not trimmed after flowering.
Excellent in winter pots and window boxes. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
Our plants are nursery-grown at St Annes in North West England, raised outdoors and in tunnels in real UK weather rather than a hothouse, so they arrive healthy, acclimatised and well rooted. This Erica ‘White Perfection’ is supplied in a 1.5L pot. Container-grown plants can be planted almost all year round, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged; autumn and spring are ideal.
