Heath and Heather Garden

Added more heathers and heaths to the Garden. I purchased them from Heaths and Heathers Nursery and selected the varieties so one would always be in flower. Also, 2 have different foliage color depending on the season. I'll replace the mulch once I'm happy with plant placement and topology. It will take a couple of years for the plants to fully fill out.

 The 5 new plants from left to right in the above photo.
 Erica Carnea "Schneekuppe" White flowers (Jan-Mar), 6"x12"
 Calluna Vulgaris "Glenmorangie" Lavender flowers (Aug - Sept ), 2"x8"
Glenmorangie closeup, Calluna Vulgaris is a Heather and has scaly foliage versus Ericas aka Heaths which have needle like foliage.
 Erica x watsonii "Truro" Mauve flowers (Jul - Nov), 6"x16"
 Erica x williamsii "Gold Button" Lilac flowers (Aug - Sept), 2" x 4" very small
 Calluna Vulgaris "Alex Warwick" White flowers (Jun - Jul), 4" x 16"
