spiculifolia

var.

,

Bruckenthalia This genus consists of only one species, an evergreen shrub native to southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. It is a dwarf and heath-like plant to 10 in high. Suitable for rock gardens and borders. Leaves are dark green. The flowers in terminal clusters of rose-pink, bell-shaped appear in early summer.

[hide]Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Bruckenthalia (after S. von Bruckenthal, an Austrian nobleman). Ericaceae. Ornamental shrub, chiefly grown for its profusely produced small spikes of pink flowers. Leaves linear, whorled: fls. in short racemes; calyx campanulate, 4-lobed; corolla campanulate with 4triangular lobes; stamens 8, included, connate at the base; disk rudimentary; caps, sub- globose, 4-celled, loculicid, many- seeded. — One species in S. E. Eu. and Asia Minor. Very closely related to Erica, but differs chiefly in the calyx being lobed only to the middle, not 4- parted, in the rudimentary disk and the connate stamens. This is a low evergreen, heath- like shrub forming large tufts, with needle-shaped small leaves and small rosy pink nodding flowers in short terminal racemes, produced in great profusion. Perfectly hardy North and requiring the same treatment as hardy ericas; a pretty little plant for rockeries. Propagation is usually by seeds which are freely produced in cultivation and treated like-those of erica; also by cuttings. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture. It may be out of date, but still contains valuable and interesting information which can be incorporated into the remainder of the article. Click on "Collapse" in the header to hide this text.
