Mauve (H2) flowers, IX–XI; dark green foliage; height 26–30cm; spread 31–45cm. Outstanding in The Heather Society trials.
Said to have been collected in Ireland [but see Etymology]; and apparently named by 1933 (perhaps by Maxwell & Beale).
Name hibernicus can mean pertaining to winter or Irish; the former seems a more likely derivation given the flowering season.
