Calluna Heather

Description

Calluna Heather (Calluna Vulgaris) is a charming and delicate outdoor plant admired for its tiny, scale-like evergreen leaves in vibrant shades of green, gold, bronze, or silver, and abundant clusters of bell-shaped flowers in pink, purple, white, or red. The fine, feathery foliage and upright flowering stems add layers of beauty, making it a striking accent in any outdoor space.

Native to the moorlands and heathlands of Europe, this beloved plant brings cottage garden charm and seasonal color to containers, patios, rock gardens, or border displays. Its compact, bushy growth habit makes it a perfect choice for smaller outdoor spaces where soft texture and elegance are appreciated.

The Calluna Heather thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-draining acidic soil. Moderate humidity and cooler temperatures keep its foliage and blooms vibrant, so in hot climates like the UAE, provide afternoon shade and regular watering. Avoid waterlogged soil, which can cause root rot, and never allow the soil to fully dry out for extended periods.

With the right care, this plant maintains its colorful foliage and produces abundant blooms during its flowering season, making it a prized addition for gardeners and outdoor décor enthusiasts alike.
