Erica and Calluna ® 
(Heath and Heather) 
A compact, low-growing evergreen, it is an 
ideal plant for covering banks, for individual 
groups in the rock-garden, or in the fore¬ 
ground of evergreen plantings. When large 
plantings are intended, remember not only 
the beauty of the flowers but consider the 
amazing fall coloring of the foliage in some 
varieties. We recommend an annual clipping 
or shearing to keep it trim-looking. Grows 
best in a peaty soil.
