PERENNIAL BEDS AND BORDERS - Gardens of perennials often lack visual
interest during the winter months when the herbaceous species are dormant,
waiting for spring's call of warmer temperatures. In the late summer months
when many perennials are waning, many of the Callunas are flowering
heaviest. The structure and foliage color of these evergreens can also be
used to an advantage. The winter blooming Ericas are natural selections for
winter color. Erica carnea and E. x darlyensis start forming buds in early
summer, that open as early as November in shades of pink, rose or white.
These long lasting flowers are colorful all winter until the first of May
when many of the spring bulbs are in full bloom. The soil requirements are a
bit different than those of some perennials but you may be able to provide
them with a site that has a well drained soil that has not had a lot of
fertilizer and manure added.
