Small hardy shrub with abundant, deep violet, bell-like flower clusters. When planted with other heathers, a multi-hued Persian carpet groundcover can be created, providing year round flowers and foliage.
Water them frequently when it is hot. A layer of mulch is beneficial to moderate temperature. soil for Heaths and Heathers should also be acidic.
Heaths and Heathers require moist, but well drained soils. They do not like to sit in standing water as they are very shallow rooted. As such, they are also very susceptible to drying out in the warm summer season.
A light trim each year is far better than neglecting a plant for several years and then pruning hard.
