Summer Flowering Heather Mix 6 x 9cm

The perfect solution to evergreen groundcover and an essential element to summer and autumn container displays, the humble heather is a multi-purpose, much loved plant that delivers much needed interest to the garden when everything else is dormant. Heathers thrive in acid (ericaceous) soil and make the perfect specimen plant for containers where you can directly influence the soil in which they are growing, which is one of the things that make them so good for late season colour in the garden. Blooming from summer and well into the autumn, heathers prefer sandy, well-draining soil that has been beefed up with organic matter. Growing in a low mound of needle-like leaves, this colourful mixed heather collection will flower for many months, with the blooms remaining on the plants long after they have faded, giving added effect to your plantings. Easy to grow, they'll need no pruning and tend to be treated as annuals if grown in containers, being recycled in the autumn with winter bedding or in spring when tender bedding can be put out. Supplied as a collection of 6 mixed plants in 9cm pots* *NB Colours cannot be guaranteed
