Heather, Scotch 'Red Carpet'

Sun Exposure: full sun Flower Color: purple Level of Care: easy

A colorful foliage variety, this low spreader turns an intense red and orange in the winter months. Tints of the same colors are seen in the golden foliage during the warmer months with mauve flowers. A favorite in the winter landscape. Thrives in full or at least a half day sun with a S.E. exposure and a well drained, slightly acidic soil with plenty of organic matter to retain moisture. Excellent in mass plantings with other Heaths and Heathers or in the rock garden. Prune back each spring to ensure dense branching and a good show of flowers.
