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.
Named for the owner of the former British nursery Maxwell & Beale, this shapely AGM recipient has graced gardens since 1925 and remains nearly everyone’s favorite Calluna. Small linear gray-green leaves clothe a compact dense-growing habit that promotes upright spiky racemes of lovely shell-pink double flowers. Emphasizing soft hues, ‘H. E. Beale’s profuse long-lasting pastel blooms blend with summertime color schemes, and in winter the mauve-infused evergreen foliage further extends the soothing tones.
