Heath (Erica) and Heather (Calluna) These are woody evergreen perennials. They range in height 1 inch upward. There are over 1000 varieties. All different shades. There are varieties that flower in every season, even winter. Nothing prettier then to go out in the middle of the winter and poking out of the snow is an Erica Heath. These plants are great for foundation planting, perennial beds and borders, rock gardens or in their own garden.
They like a slightly acid well drained soil, mixed with peat moss or compost. They need at least 1/2 day of sun. These plants are trouble free and will grow almost anywhere. All they require is a light prunning for the first few years.
There is a wonderful nursery in Truro, Ma. That specializes in Heath and Heather.
