Winter Heath 'Springwood White', Heather 'Springwood White', Snow Heath 'Springwood White', Spring Heath 'Springwood White', Alpine Heath 'Springwood White'
Highly popular among gardeners for its vigorous trailing habit, award-winning Erica carnea ‘Springwood White’ features abundant small, urn-shaped, silvery-white flowers from early winter to late spring (Dec-May). They beautifully smother the needle-like, bright green foliage. Great at providing winter color, this low-growing, evergreen shrub creates an excellent ground cover for sunny locations while requiring little care. It may also be used to trail over retaining walls.
One of the hardiest of Heathers, Erica carnea is native to the Alps of Central Europe. It is loved for its early bloom and evergreen presence and forms bristling mats of pink, white, purple, or red blooms which are at their best with the early spring bulbs such as crocus, scillas, and dwarf irises.
