Maintenance Tips

Erica Darl 'White Perfection' is relatively easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Here are some maintenance guidelines to keep your 'White Perfection' heather healthy and thriving:

Planting:

• Location: Plant in well-draining soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent disease.
• Spacing: Space 'White Perfection' heathers approximately 2 to 3 feet apart to allow for their natural spread.
• Soil: Heather plants prefer acidic, well-drained soil. If your soil is not naturally acidic, consider amending it with peat moss or an acidifying fertilizer.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first year of growth. Once established, 'White Perfection' heather is drought-tolerant and requires less water.

Pruning:

• Deadheading: After the flowering period, remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
• Light Pruning: Trim back any leggy or straggly growth in early spring to promote bushier growth and maintain its compact shape.

Fertilizing:

• Feed: Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth.

Protection:

• Winter Protection: Although 'White Perfection' is generally hardy, you can protect it from harsh winter weather by adding a layer of mulch around the base and covering it with burlap or a frost cloth when extreme cold is expected.
