Erica Calycina Var. Periplociflora

Erica calycina var. periplociflora is a rare and striking evergreen shrub native to the coastal regions of South Africa. Known for its dense, needle-like foliage and clusters of vivid white flowers, it thrives in well-drained, acidic soils. This variant of Erica calycina is particularly valued for its ornamental appeal and ability to withstand coastal conditions. Its compact growth habit makes it an ideal choice for rock gardens and coastal landscapes. Despite its beauty, it remains a lesser-known gem in the world of native plants.
