Epacris impressa “Double Pink” 150mm

Common Heath - Rare double pink flowering variety
This captivating medium-sized open shrub is a delightful addition to any garden, boasting a stunning display of bell flowers from autumn to spring. Its peak flowering during winter adds a cheerful touch to the landscape and attracts honey-eating birds, making it a valuable asset to wildlife enthusiasts. Moreover, these flowers are ideal for floral arrangements, coming in a range of enchanting hues, from deep pink to red and white varieties. To thrive, this plant prefers a moist yet well-drained slightly acidic soil and can flourish in both sunny and partially shaded areas. It adapts well to pot cultivation using an open potting mix and exhibits frost hardiness. However, it's essential to note that it may have a relatively short lifespan. Naturally found in the southeastern states of Australia, including Tasmania, this shrub thrives in diverse environments like open forests, alpine regions, and heathlands. Notably, the deep pink variety proudly represents Victoria as its floral emblem.
