| Design Ideas | Perfect in borders and rock gardens or massed, this evergreen shrub is a great choice to accompany rhododendrons and acid-loving plants. Planted as a ground cover, the plants will slowly form a dense mat that defeats most weeds and provides year round beauty. Highly desirable for their interesting texture and long lasting display, "bud-blooming" heathers such as this are known for flower buds that swell and color up, but unlike traditional Erica or Calluna varieties, never open to reveal the flower, instead providing a unique, showy display of upright, densely packed bloom spikes. |
| Flower Color | Purplish-pink |
| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Companion Plants | Spreading Juniper (Juniperus); Rhododendron (Rhododendron); Spreading Yew (Taxus); Carpet Rose (Rosa); Lily of the Valley (Pieris); Blueberry (Vaccinium); Mountain Laurel (Kalmia) |
| Care | Provide average to lean, evenly moist, loose, well-drained soil; avoid hot humidity and heavy or poorly drained soils. Shelter from intense afternoon sun exposures in hot summer regions. In harsh winter areas, plant in a sheltered location and mulch root zone to protect. Prune as needed to shape. |
