Erica x veitchii ‘Exeter’ is a winter/spring flowering heather bearing fragrant white flowers, in contrast with bright green foliage. It's perfect for using as groundcover beneath shrubs, and is also suitable for using in winter container displays. Its flowers are extremely attractive to bees, and can be a lifeline for queen bumblebees disturbed from their hibernation.
Grow Erica x veitchii ‘Exeter’ in well-drained, neutral to acidic soil in full sun. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
