Amazing Heaths & Heathers for your Garden

May 23, 2013

All through the year heaths and heather are blooming in our display gardens. And even when not in bloom, their foliage can take on dramatic shades of red, gold or lime green. These wonderful plants are relatively drought tolerant, are easy to grow and add interest all year long.
