Spring Torch

Spring Torch

In late winter, and early spring this Scotch heather produces brightly colored tips, looking quite 'fiery'. The tips fade in a month, then later in summer the plant is decorated with soft lavender-pink flowers. This bushy heather will be about 12 inches tall and 18" wide in time. Plant in groups of 3 or 5 for a spectacular effect in spring.
