Variety traits
Erica gracilis J. C. Wendl.
Erica gracilis forms racemose inflorescences consisting of miniature nodding bell-shaped flowers located at the tips of the shoots.
In the reference 9 varieties crop Slender heath, where this is mentioned in the description.
The flowers of Erica gracilis are gathered in racemose inflorescences at the shoot apices. A single inflorescence typically contains about four flowers, although the total number per shoot can range from three to fifteen units.
During the flowering period, which occurs in the autumn-winter season, the shoots are covered with inflorescences so densely that it creates the effect of a compact bouquet bloom. Abundant inflorescence formation serves as a key indicator of the plant's ornamental quality, directly depending on light levels and growing conditions.
