Erica arborea 3 Litre Pot

Erica arborea (Tree Heather)

Elegant evergreen with feathery foliage and masses of tiny white flowers

Erica arborea, commonly known as Tree Heather, is a fast-growing evergreen shrub or small tree that brings fine, feathery texture and soft seasonal colour to the garden. In spring, it's smothered in tiny white, honey-scented flowers that attract bees and other pollinators.

Native to Mediterranean climates, it thrives in acidic, free-draining soils and suits woodland edges, heather gardens, or coastal sites. Its upright, bushy habit and delicate foliage also make it a good choice for screening or informal hedging.

• Clouds of fragrant white flowers in early spring

• Ideal for acidic, well-drained soils

• Great for coastal, wildlife, or woodland-style planting

• Fast-growing and low maintenance

Erica arborea adds year-round texture and seasonal charm – perfect for naturalistic gardens or acidic borders.
