Those who want the summer cottage to look not only fertile, but also fabulously beautiful, do not have to spend a lot of effort at all. It is enough to plant one amazing plant and the garden will come to life, as if a spring fairy tale had breathed into it.
Miniature magic from heather family
We are talking about Eric. Its name sounds as elegant as it looks. This tiny representative of heather does not just decorate the flowerbed. She turns her into a live picture. Flowers bloom even in the spring, as soon as the sun begins to heat the ground, and the buds are gaining power and even under the snow.
Flowering is a special spectacle. The bush is covered with a scattering of delicate bell flowers. White, lilac, purple shades look especially bright against the background of a sleepy garden. And thanks to compact growth (up to 40 cm in total), Eric is ideal for framing paths, alpine slides and borders.
Minimum care and maximum benefit
After flowering, the plant freezes until next spring. It is not afraid of wind, rain and even harsh winter. It does not require special care. This is what Eric makes ideal for occupied gardeners.
For young seedlings, however, at first it is better to help survive frosts a little. It is enough to cover the base with peat or dry leaves, and cover with spruce branches on top. Such a departure will protect from the cold and acidify the soil, which will only benefit.
Plant Erica and your site will play with new colors. A modest -looking plant can create a miracle without unnecessary fuss.
