Featured Plant for the Month of January, Erica x darleyensis - Darley Dale heath - Erica x darleyensis was first discovered and marketed by a nursery in Derbyshire, England during the early 1900's. Found as a chance hybrid from two other species, Darley Dale heath is a far too underused plant in the American Garden. Its features include dark green, needle-like foliage that keeps all year and flowers during the winter months. Growing to 12 inches tall and 24 inches wide, dark pink to white small bell-shaped flowers form in mass along the stems offering a spectacular appearance beginning in mid to late November and continues to flower well into early spring. Darley Dale heath requires little to no maintenance. They grow best in full sun to part shade with well drained soils and are drought tolerant once established. Heath's do not tolerate winter moisture. Therefore, it is best to grow in a gravel mix or a raised garden bed. Currently, there are several different varieties growing in the Garden.
