RE: Erica

I have several which seem to do fine in my clay bank.   I never water
them except for our lovely PNW rains.  There are several Pulminora (SP)
which have self seeded from my perennial border on the other side of the
fence. This  is a perennial of course, which is surviving on the west
bank, and full sun.  I thought it would look nice, if I planted several
varieties of heather's on the bank.  You can view the bank on this url.

and to the right of the Elymus arenarius (blue green grass)
