Erica 'Kramer's Red' (Heath) // "Lucky", Easy to Grow, Low Shrub For VALUABLE Early Season Color

Ironically, I just planted 3 in the garden this morning. I love these plants. Thank you!

Very interesting. Thanks.😊

I always enjoy your videos especially when it comes to pruning and caring for our plants. I'm more than surprised to hear that you advocate adding peat to soil. As we know peat extraction releases substantial amounts of co2, a greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change.
This certainly is not good for our environment.

My favorite winter plant!

I live in Colorado zone 5; I’d be happy to test one 😂. It’s beautiful!

Hi David , what abeautiful and amazing erica kramers red plant .I will plant it in my garden . Have anice day .

I grow this exact one in USDA zone 5b. It’s fine in a windy exposed area. Last fall it started blooming in November due to the mild fall in the Niagara Falls area and got snowed on at least three times.

Impressive and invaluable information, David. Thank you! Quite the welcoming shrub for conditions much like I live in 🌬
I like very much planted with the small growing arborvitae. It's so pretty! One to add to my list, indeed. I love the operation behind the scenes. Such a wonderful place to be surrounded in! 💚🌱 Cheers!

Hi David. I just recently planted two of these Erica Kramer’s Red in my front border. They are still in full bloom looking absolutely glorious. Since they are small I decided not to prune them this year. I’ll definitely do so the following year after they put on some more growth. Thank you.

I planted about a dozen assorted heaths and heathers in my winter garden two years ago and they were a total fail. Only two are even visible any more and they're black with no signs of activity. This garden area is under deciduous trees so gets a lot of sun in winter, and mostly shade in summer. It's well-drained, and other plants are doing well, so really not sure what went wrong. They came from a specialist grower. I really wanted some early color and would love to try again if I can figure out what the problem was.

Awesome. This plant is beautiful

Whats the difference between a heath and heather?🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Thanks for your informative video. Can you please advise on propagation too?

Such a wonderfully informative video!! I picked two of these up from a local nursery, admittedly not knowing a thing about them 😅 I just thought they’d be beautiful in my front bed. Thank you!
