    "A Hardy Groundcover
    One of the best ground covers may be Erica darleyensis. It's a hardy little fellow, and what I like about it is the way it clings to the ground and smothers itself with its little tiny bells of bright pinky mauve for literally months in the year; and most of all I like it for liking us!"
