Scots Heather
Calluna Vulgaris Cuprea

A vibrant, low growing, evergreen heather with distinctive, copper foliage that takes on a brilliant shade of warm bronze-red over the winter. Perfect for using in the foreground of a small border or as a foundation plant, it has a compact, densely-branched, mat-forming growth habit and bears masses of beautiful, urn-shaped, rosy to purplish-pink blooms on long racemes from August to October. Great for using in mass plantings, along walkways and in troughs or patio containers that have good drainage, it can be pruned after flowering to ensure a neat, compact shape is maintained. 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 but it must be well-drained. Prefers an acidic soil high in organic matter

Rate of Growth: Average

Flowering Period: August to October

Flower Colour: Rosy to purplish-pink

Other Features: It has an dense, upright branching growth habit and forms a thick mat that’s suitable for using as groundcover

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
