Erica gracillis White (Pot Size 12cm) White Cape Heather sold by Boma Garden Centre

Erica gracillis ‘White’ brings delicate elegance to your garden with its profuse clusters of pure white, urn-shaped flowers, which appear from late autumn through to early spring. Its fine, dark green needle-like foliage remains constant, offering year-round structure and contrast. Perfect in raised beds, rock gardens or patio containers, this compact evergreen shrub features a neat mounded habit that reaches around 40-50 cm high. Plant it alongside other acid-loving pleasure-plants such as rhododendrons, dwarf conifers or spring-flowering bulbs (like crocuses or grape hyacinths) to craft a harmonious, low-maintenance display. In containers it works beautifully mixed with winter pansies, heathers and small ericaceous evergreens for a textured and seasonal composition.
