Epacris impressa is an erect, open, evergreen, heath-type shrub with sharp, pointed leaves and pendulous cerise, tubular shaped flowers that appear from late autumn through to late spring.
Good as cut flowers and excellent for attracting bees and other beneficial insects to your garden.
This plant is popular in cultivation and will tolerate a light frost but prefers warmer climates.
The pendulous nature of the flowers make it an attractive addition to any rockery.
They can be planted in pots but it is important to keep the soil moist so make sure you choose the right potting mix.
A good soil mix will include sphagnum moss overlaid by fine gravel and peat.
