Italian heather is one of the more hardy versions of plant. It is a hybrid of Erica carnea and E. Erigena, typically flourishing best in moist outdoor conditions with full sun. Northern and Western Europe are also considered its native home. Therefore, outdoor conditions that are prone to soggy or dry soil and harsh cold are fatal to the plant.
