Scots Heather
Calluna Vulgaris Blazeaway

This is a vibrant, evergreen cottage-garden variety with bright yellow spring new growth, turning to mint-green as it matures and taking on spectacular shaded of fiery, orangey-red during the winter. The dramatic foliage is accompanied by long clusters of showy, urn-shaped, pastel lavender-pink blooms which are produced in abundance from July to October. It has a compact, densely-branched, mat-forming growth habit, making it great for using in mass plantings, along walkways, in troughs and patio containers that have good drainage or just to naturalise a particular area of the garden. We’d also recommend it for elevated positions within alpine rock gardens or on banks where the soil is well-drained. As it prefers rocky, unimproved soils do not be tempted to over-fertilise.

Position: Full sun to partial shade

Soil: Not fussy about soil type providing it’s well-drained. Tolerant of acidic soil

Rate of Growth: Average

Flowering Period: July to October

Flower Colour: Lavender-pink

Other Features: Perfect for using in retaining walls or raised planters, it’s also suitable for growing in the acidic soils around the edges of conifer groves

Hardiness: Fully hardy

Garden Care: When planting incorporate lots of composted pine needles or leaf-mould into the planting hole. In March or April cut back the flowered shoots to within 2.5cm (1in) of the old growth

Eventual Height:  45cm
Eventual Spread:  60cm
