Product Description
Heather is a great low-maintenance ground cover plant. This wonderful winter mixture produces an array of striking colours from pinks to purples that act as a colourful carpet when little else is in flower from December to February. The tiny flowers sit amongst petite green leaves in a compact nature reaching a height of just 35cm. These hardy flowers originate from Scotland and so are used to harsher climates. A great addition to creating a unique landscape with a splash of colour to patio containers, rockeries or the front of garden borders. We recommend planting in groups to gain more of a feature. 4.5cm plug plants supplied.
We guarantee our great value mixture packs contain a comprehensive blend of variety and colours. By definition the components of the mixtures are not labelled/named on arrival.
