Erica Paucifolia Subsp. Squarrosa

Erica paucifolia subsp. squarrosa is a unique subspecies of the Erica genus native to southern Africa. It is known for its compact growth habit and distinctive, dense foliage. This plant thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. Its small, needle-like leaves and ability to form dense clumps make it an excellent choice for rock gardens and coastal landscapes. Despite its hardiness, it requires careful watering to avoid root rot and flourish in its natural habitat.
