About Erica terminalis Salisb.
Erica terminalis, commonly known as Corsican heath or upright heath, is a European species of flowering plant that belongs to the Ericaceae family. It is a bushy evergreen shrub, and it is sometimes classified as a tree heath – a term that is also used for E. arborea and E. lusitanica. This species grows to 1 metre (3+1⁄2 feet) in both height and width. It produces mid-green leaves and rose-pink flowers in summer and autumn; these flowers often stay on the plant well into winter. E. terminalis can grow successfully on limey soils. It is native to southern Europe and northern Africa, and has become naturalised in other locations.
