It is not necessary to start seeds or flowers indoors or in a greenhouse. Flowers can be started in May when the soil is workable.

Possibly the hardiest of the Erica species, winter heather blooms even in the harshest of winters. Pink, white and violet varieties

Erica carnea 'Myretoun Ruby' (Winter Heath) is an outstanding variety with an abundance of small, urn-shaped flowers that transition from heliotrope to deep ruby-red throughout the season.
