‘Samtpfötchen’

Dusky rose-pink flowers, VII–VIII; grey-green foliage; height 21–25cm; spread 31–45cm.

Seedling from ‘Tina‘ raised by Lothar Denkewitz (Hamburg, Germany); introduced by L. Denkewitz in 1991. Like ‘Riko‘ this arose from an intended (but unsuccessful) cross between Erica cinereaPink Ice‘ and Erica tetralixTina‘.

The name refers to the velvety corolla.
