Erica x darleyensis WINTER BELLES® 'Lucie'

Description

'Lucie' possesses all the qualities of the  'Kramer's Rote' variety, where it comes from, and distinguishes itself through the following qualities:
- magnificent, slightly later violet-red flowers. The twice as big bell-shaped flowers give an impression of abundant flowering. Appearing in the month of December, it offers a great show right up to March.
- compact and ball shaped growth.
- dense, dark green foliage.
 
The WINTER BELLES ® range is made up of ‘Katia’, ‘Lucie’, ‘Phoebe’ and  ‘Tylou’. Each of these varieties can be planted individually or with others, thus bringing a harmony of colour shades in both flowers and foliage, which extend their beauty from September to April.

Care

Prune after the flowers have finished to keep the plant in the required dimensions.

Trophies

In February 2011 'Lucie' won "The Heather Society's Premier Award" of best heather introduction, thanks to its excellent attributes for garden planting.

Range
