{"product_id":"erica-darley-dale","title":"Erica Darley Dale","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a profusion of bell shaped mauve to lilac pink flowers from late Winter to Spring, Erica Darley Dale is a low growing evergreen shrub that is perfect for adding billowing rounded pillows of colour and texture to the garden. This plant is a real showstopper for adding colour and texture to the Winter garden, and pollinators love it making it a valuable food source when not much else is in flower. Also known and the Darley Dale Heath, it was first found as a chance seedling in Derbyshire U.K in the early 1900's, and this delightful plant has stood the test of time making it a historical favourite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThriving in a sunny position, Erica requires a fairly well drained soil, similar to the conditions Australian Native plants appreciate. Avoid waterlogging or too much fertiliser as this South African native likes a poor soil. A light tip prune after flowering will help keep this lovely shrub tidy and compact. Drought tolerant once established, Erica requires a fairly dry position for Winter is cooler climates as cold waterlogged soils will lead to root rot. Protect from frost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828198006968,"sku":"LPOERIDDA","price":6.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/erica-lpoeridda-darley-dale.jpg?v=1785384839","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/erica-darley-dale","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
