Heather, Scotch 'Golden Carpet'

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

A carpet-forming Heather with yellowish-gold foliage with orange and red tints in summer that deepen as the temperature drops, offering welcome color 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.
