Seed Scotch heather ground cover or low shrub (50 Seeds)

Calluna Vulgaris, also known as Scotch heather, is an evergreen ground cover or low shrub that blooms in late summer in shades of red or pink. This beautiful plant thrives in USDA zones 3 to 9 and adds year-round beauty to any garden. Whether it's the vibrant summer blooms or the ever-changing foliage, heather is a wonderful addition to sunny garden spots, such as borders and driveways.

Heather requires nutrient-poor, well-draining, and acidic soils, as well as a bright sunny location. It does not grow well in alkaline soils. When planting heather in the ground, make sure to space the plants about 24 inches apart. It's best to plant them in early fall or spring. Pruning the dead dry stems in spring will result in fresher-looking plants. Cut the old stems close to the ground. Mulching before winter is recommended to protect the plants from cold temperatures and wind.
