Erica baueri – Bridal Heath

A small evergreen shrub from South Africa Erica baueri is commonly called the ‘Bridal Heath’. 

Very showy, tubular flowers, in large clusters appear from mid winter to spring and often a second flush in summer as well. The colours vary from white through to pink and red with many new cultivars being released.

This is a reliable flowering evergreen plant, attractive foliage and a easy care. Most cultivars will reach around 1m in height. Plants are readily available for sale from nurseries and garden centres.

Care

Best suited to a sunny well drained position. This is a plant that resents root disturbance, so avoid transplanting once established and do not cultivate around the plant.

Pruning can be carried out immediately after flowering, cut back by 1/3 or a little more. This will maintain a good bushy habit and promote flowering for the next season.

Varieties

  • Erica baueri ‘alba’ – white flowers
  • Erica baueri ‘rosea’ – pink flowers
  • Erica baueri ‘ deep pink’ – darker pink flowers

Summary

  • Height – 1m
  • Spread – 1m
  • Position – Full sun
  • Soil – Humus rich well drained
  • Prune – After flowering
