Mediterranean Pink Heather (Erica x darleyensis ‘Mediterranean Pink’) is a charming, low-growing evergreen shrub prized for its profusion of bell-shaped, rosy-pink flowers that bloom from late winter into early spring. This early bloomer brings a splash of vibrant color to the landscape when little else is flowering, making it a standout addition to rock gardens, borders, and foundation plantings. With fine, needle-like foliage that remains green year-round, Mediterranean Pink Heather provides long-lasting texture and color in all seasons. Ideal for full sun to partial shade, Mediterranean Pink Heather thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and is drought-tolerant once established. It grows in a tidy, mounding habit—typically reaching 12 to 18 inches in height and spreading up to 2 feet wide—making it an excellent groundcover option. This hardy, deer-resistant shrub is perfect for coastal gardens, slopes, and low-maintenance landscapes, where it adds beauty without demanding constant care. Its dense, spreading nature also helps with erosion control on banks and hillsides. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–8, Mediterranean Pink Heather is both versatile and resilient. It pairs beautifully with other acid-loving plants like azaleas, rhododendrons, and dwarf conifers. Whether you're planting en masse for a stunning carpet of blooms or using it as a subtle accent in mixed beds, this heather variety brings soft color, evergreen structure, and reliable performance to gardens throughout the cooler months.
