Spring Surprise

Spring Surprise

Full, spreading winter blooming heath. The name is curious, as the plant blooms starting in December, continuing until March. This cultivar spreads 2-3 times its height, which is around 6-10 inches in 10 years, thus making the spread 18"-24". After blooming, the plant looks very nice with dark green leaves and a compact habit.
