{"product_id":"erica-melanthera-ruby-shepherd","title":"Heath Ruby Shepherd - Erica melanthera Ruby Shepherd","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the rest of the garden is winding down for winter, Erica melanthera Ruby Shepherd puts on a show. This compact, upright evergreen shrub is smothered in brilliant clusters of deep pink flowers throughout autumn and winter, exactly when garden colour is hardest to come by. The soft, needle like foliage gives it a fine, delicate texture that contrasts beautifully with the vivid blooms, and the whole plant has a tidy, well behaved habit that suits both formal and relaxed garden styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing to around 90cm tall, Ruby Shepherd is a versatile performer. Mass plant it for a bold seasonal display, tuck it into a border for year round structure, grow it in a container on a balcony or courtyard, or cut a few stems to bring that pop of pink indoors. It handles moderate drought, frost and wind once established, and asks very little in return, just good drainage, an annual feed and a layer of mulch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plantmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46446560215201,"sku":"Erica melanthera Ruby Shepherd - 14cm","price":15.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9711\/0433\/files\/3_6fe5e1a4-09c0-4959-8fc5-494a31739ab0.png?v=1779236617","url":"https:\/\/www.plantnest.com.au\/products\/erica-melanthera-ruby-shepherd","provider":"Plant Nest | Trees, Hedging Plants \u0026 Garden Inspiration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
