 "Epacris impressa" regenerates after bushfire by seed and resprouting.Fieldwork in heathland in the Otway Ranges in the years following the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires showed that large numbers of "E. impressa" seedlings appeared in some areas, and that flowering took place as early as the second year after the fire.The roots of "Epacris impressa" are colonized by fungi forming ericoid mycorrhiza.
