Perfect for rockeries, alpine gardens and stone planters, Erica x darleyensis 'Darley Dale' is a winter flowering Heather, that looks superb planted alongside dwarf conifers and other varieties of heather. It has hundreds of small, pale pink flowers, when in bloom, that fill the compact, evergreen shrub. Erica 'Pink Perfection', Heather can be grown in all types of soil and is extremely low maintenance. As well as rockeries and borders, it's also a great ground cover plant for areas of the garden which are underplanted and prone to weeds. For example very narrow borders between the driveway and boundary fence. Height: 30cm (12). Spread: 55cm (22).
Very few shrubs are able to boast such rich, almost black foliage, but this recently introduced Elder does just that. The striking, fine cut leaves are an intense shade of dark purple, changing to a vibrant red in autumn. In summer, large clusters of small fragrant pink flowers are borne, which are later replaced by glossy black berries, especially attractive to birds, but can be left to ripen to make a wonderful wine. Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla ?Black Lace? is an easy to grow, hardy, deciduous shrub and grows best in full sun. Adapts well to most soil conditions and very easy to maintain, making an attractive addition to borders, woodlands and wildlife gardens. Height: 3m (10?). Spread: 2m (6?).
