Accidental heather grower

20 years ago

I received someone else's shipment of Erica Cinerea 'Pink Ice', arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Massachusetts', and Calluna vulgaris 'Mrs. Ronald Gray' and the shipper suggested I try to grow them rather than sending them back. My soil is alkaline clay, but I can build a raised bed or ammend an existing one. Pink Ice is only rated to zone 6, and I'm in zone 5.

My question is, can I put these 3 into a single bed? And can they mix with dwarf pines and junipers and succulants? Some of the posts say they are alleopathic and I'd hate to have them kill existing plants and then not survive.

Thanks, Kris
