Kramer's Red Darley Heath is a live 4-inch plant that does its best work in the dead of winter, when deep magenta bells open in ranks along a low evergreen mound of dark bronze-green foliage.

Erica x darleyensis 'Kramer's Red' spreads into a dense mat, which makes it a genuinely useful ground cover for a slope, a path edge, or the front of a shrub border — and a fine winter patio pot besides. The flowers run from winter into spring, feeding the first bees out of the hive when almost nothing else is open. Give it full sun and drainage it can count on, and shear the faded tips just after bloom without cutting back into bare old wood.

Fun fact: The hybrid takes its name from Darley Dale in Derbyshire, the English nursery village where the cross between two heath species first appeared.

Ships as an established plant, guaranteed healthy on arrival.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
