Erica arborea var. alpina f. aureifolia 'Albert's Gold'
'Albert's Gold' is an upgright, medium sized evergreen shrub featuring soft golden green foliage, and small white flowers early in the year. Known as the 'Winter Heath' or 'Alpine Heath', and originating from the European Alps it is used to high altitudes and very cold temperatures. It will grow as happily on soils containing lime, or any well draining fertile soil. All heathers have fibrous roots and these dislike compaction.
All cultivars are low growing and suitable for ground cover, some being better suited than others for this purpose. The flowers continue through winter - frost, snow, rain, and wind - offering what must be the best value of almost any garden plant. As with most heathers planting in large drifts is most effective. Remember to plant in full sun to get best flowering results.
