Description

Heather (Calluna vulgaris 'Maires') is a vigorous, mat-forming groundcover known for its upright, leafy branches and profuse summer display of bell-shaped white flowers. The new growth emerges in pale green, contrasting beautifully against the darker mature foliage. This low-maintenance evergreen is ideal for creating eye-catching groundcover or border accents in sunny to lightly shaded areas. Its blooms are excellent for cut or dried flower arrangements, adding beauty indoors and out.
