Erica Purple Blossom

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units

Erica 'Purple Blossom' is a compact, evergreen shrub with masses of small, vibrant purple flowers that bloom in clusters, attracting bees and butterflies. Its fine, needle-like foliage adds texture, making it a great choice for rockeries, borders, or container planting.

In Australia, it thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and prefers full sun to part shade. Ideal for cool to temperate climates, it can tolerate light frost but dislikes heavy humidity. Regular watering is needed during dry spells, but it dislikes waterlogged conditions. Pruning after flowering helps maintain a tidy shape and encourages more blooms.

It pairs beautifully with companion plants like dwarf Grevilleas, Callistemon ‘Little John’, and Westringia for a native contrast, or with other acid-loving plants like Azaleas and Leptospermum for a soft, layered effect.

Mulching with pine bark helps retain moisture and maintain soil acidity. Perfect for cottage gardens, native gardens, or coastal landscapes.
