{"product_id":"pink-fire-erica-erica-cerinthoides","title":"Pink Fire Erica - Erica cerinthoides","description":"\u003cp\u003eErica cerinthoides, the Pink Fire Erica, is one of the most striking winter-flowering shrubs available for Australian gardens. Through the cooler months it produces masses of bright pink tubular flowers in generous clusters across the upright stems, delivering a vivid and cheerful display at exactly the time of year when colour in the garden is most welcome. The small, hairy needle-like foliage is attractive year-round and gives the plant a fine, soft texture that contrasts beautifully with broader-leafed companions in mixed borders and rockery plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing to approximately 60cm to 1m tall and wide with an erect, upright, shrub-like habit, Pink Fire Erica is a compact and well-proportioned shrub that suits a wide range of garden situations. It performs well in borders, rockeries, containers, and coastal gardens, and the bright pink tubular flowers are a valuable nectar source for honeyeaters and other bird-attracting species through winter. The cut flower potential adds further versatility, making it a genuinely multi-purpose garden plant that earns its place in any well-considered planting scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly drought and wind tolerant once established, Pink Fire Erica thrives in full sun in loam and sandy well-drained soils. Keep moist during dry periods, mulch well around the base, and feed with an annual slow-release fertiliser and occasional liquid feed through the growing season. Generally trouble free and low maintenance, it is one of the best compact winter-flowering shrubs available for adding bold pink colour and bird-attracting value to southern Australian gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Nest","offers":[{"title":"14cm","offer_id":46523735539873,"sku":"Pink Fire Erica - Erica cerinthoides - 14cm","price":18.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9711\/0433\/files\/2_01f7f2c4-c4a3-4005-ae0e-9c859b6376bb.png?v=1780970410","url":"https:\/\/www.plantnest.com.au\/products\/pink-fire-erica-erica-cerinthoides","provider":"Plant Nest | Trees, Hedging Plants \u0026 Garden Inspiration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
