Erica verticillata - P9

Growth habit
Bushy, upright.

Water
Water regularly and allow the soil to dry out in the meantime.

Pruning
No pruning is necessary for this plant.

Location
Preferred location in a sunny position.

Soil
Erica verticillata thrives on all acidic, sandy, peaty and boggy soils.

Planting time
Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the soil is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).

Care
- A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time. - Over time, the soil loses some of its important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil every two years in spring.

Flower
The purple-red, tubular flowers appear from September to November.

Use
Tub, heather garden, winter garden
