Erica 'Kramer's Red' - LARGE Deep Pink-Red Winter Flowering Heather

These Heather plants provide excellent evergreen ground cover, and bright flower colour in the dullest months of the year, from autumn to spring. Heathers are one of the easiest to grow evergreens and are perfect for planters or a carpet of colour in the garden. The dark green foliage is smothered with blooms in season. Spreading mounds of neat evergreen foliage smother out the weeds, making them a superb choice for ground cover. Starting in late autumn and early winter and continuing into spring, Ericas come into their own in the coldest months, completely covered in little spikes of bell-shaped flowers - which the bees adore.

These plants will provide a colourful display in your garden even through snow and ice and anything else the winter can throw at them. Perfect for the front of beds and borders, creating drifts of colour in rockeries and mixed in traditional plantings with conifers.

‘Kramer’s Red’ is a richly coloured heather, prized for its deep pink to purple blooms that cover the plant in dense, upright sprays during the colder months. It pairs beautifully with plants that complement its winter colour and texture, such as Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Star’ for cool-toned contrast, Skimmia japonica for glossy evergreen structure, or ornamental grasses like Festuca glauca to soften the planting. To maintain its neat shape and encourage fresh growth, lightly trim back the spent flowers in spring, avoiding cutting into old woody growth, which will keep the plant compact and floriferous year after year.
