About

Erica terminalis, the Corsican heath or upright heath, is a European species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae.

It is a bushy evergreen shrub, sometimes described as a tree heath (a term also applied to E. arborea and E. lusitanica). It grows to 1 metre (3+1⁄2 feet) tall and wide, with mid-green leaves and rose-pink flowers in summer and autumn, which often persist on the plant well into winter. E. terminalis can grow well on limey soils.
