Prized for its four seasons of interest, award-winning Calluna vulgaris 'Wickwar Flame' (Heather) is a compact, spreading evergreen shrub forming a dense mound of golden-yellow and orange foliage in summer, changing to coppery-red during the winter months. Profuse mauve-pink flowers are on display in late summer and contrast beautifully with the evergreen foliage. Primarily a foliage plant, this Heather is terrific as a groundcover.
