Calluna
Heather
Callunas’ tiny scale-like leaves range from deep green to silver, gold and bronze, with some changing color after a frost. Flowering from mid-to-late summer in cool whites, pinks and purples, the small bell-shaped flowers are frozen in graceful repose on one-sided spikes. Heathers are marvelous, fresh or dried.
A delightful melding of warm colors, ‘Winter Chocolate’ is a year-round marvel in our Heather garden. Radiantly bedecked with chartreuse, chocolate and golden hues for winter, spring’s new growth brings creamy salmon-red tips. As the days grow longer, the foliar shades broaden to an alluring range of orange, pink and yellow, toned by bright green. As if this isn’t enough, soft lavender blossoms just about engulf the plant in late summer.
