Common Yarn Heath

Erica glomiflora, known as the lantern heath, is an erect, bushy evergreen shrublet reaching up to one meter in height. It features fine, needle-like foliage and produces a profusion of attractive, lantern-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink, or magenta. This South African native thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and is ideal for Mediterranean climates or as a container plant. Its compact growth habit and long flowering period make it a standout in biodiversity-focused gardens.
