Characteristics
Obtention FOREST EDGE Nurseries - European
P.B.R.
This new
selection is an addition to the WINTER
BELLES ® range of flowering heathers.
'Phoebe'
has a compact and rounded form and is quite slow growing.
Height: 0.40m to
0.50m. Spread: 0.50m to 0.60m
Flowering starts early for a darleyensis hybrid,
beginning in September and continues until March. The flowers are an unusual salmon
pink in colour.
Uses
For
the best growth, plant in a lime free soil in full sun.
'Phoebe's' remarkably
long flowering period is its strong point. The pretty pink tones of the bell-shaped
flowers go beautifully with the pure white of 'Katia'
and the purple red of 'Lucie',
the other selections in the WINTER BELLES
® range.
Cut back in March after flowering
to encourage new growth and ensure a good display the following season.
