County Wicklow Heather (Calluna vulgaris 'County Wicklow') is a stunning evergreen shrub that adds vibrant color and texture to any landscape. This hardy perennial is characterized by its compact, bushy growth and charming clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers that bloom profusely in late summer to early fall. The blossoms come in shades of pink and purple, creating a lovely contrast against the plant’s lush green foliage and attracting bees and other pollinators to the garden.
Ideal for use as a groundcover, border, or in rock gardens, County Wicklow Heather forms a dense mat that effectively suppresses weeds while providing a beautiful, low-maintenance solution for filling in bare spots. Its drought-tolerant nature and ability to thrive in poor, acidic soils make it perfect for a variety of garden settings, from coastal areas to woodland gardens.
