Erica cinerea 'P.S. Patrick'

Erica cinerea 'P.S. Patrick' produces rich magenta blooms that are long-lasting and densely packed. The deep magenta color is a prized feature of this particular bell heather cultivar.

Erica cinerea is commonly known as bell heather, a species native to western Europe including the British Isles. It typically produces purple or magenta bell-shaped flowers and grows on acidic soils.

Erica cinerea species generally bloom in mid-to-late summer, later than the winter-flowering Erica carnea varieties. 'P.S. Patrick' follows this pattern with its rich magenta flowers appearing during the summer months.

Like other bell heathers, 'P.S. Patrick' prefers acidic, well-drained soil and full sun. It tolerates exposed conditions and poor soils better than many garden plants, making it suitable for heath and rock gardens.
