Heathers are low-growing, evergreen shrubs, typically found on heathland and moorland. There are several different types, which flower at different times of the year in a variety of colours, including white, pink, purple and red. All thrive in acid soils although some are more tolerant of neutral to alkaline soils.
Calluna heathers flower in summer and autumn.
Erica heathers typically flower in winter and spring (there are some summer-flowering species).
