Native to the Mediterranean basin, this shrubby heather grows naturally as a low shrub of up to 1m in exposed places, but can reach 2.5m in sheltered gardens. It grows on rocky slopes, in crevices in the rock and in pockets with little soil, varying its size according to its resources. Unlike most other plants in the family, Erica multiflora thrives in alkaline rather than acidic soils.
This heather provides nectar and pollen for bees and the many other species of pollinating insects, as well as habitat for other native fauna. It flowers profusely in open woodlands and on rocky slopes during the winter months, the flowers are abundant, pale pink, narrow and bell-shaped, up to 7mm long, and appear late in the autumn and throughout the winter. Suitable for exposed coastal sites.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
