Tucker (d. July 2006) (Worthing, Sussex); subsequently propagated vegetatively.
The origin of the seed is uncertain: it was said to have come from South Africa, which is highly improbable. The plant was originally labelled “Erica longifolium”, but subsequently identified as Erica multiflora. Established here. Registered on 1 October 2006 by The Registrar, The Heather Society.
