Some of the different winter blooming Heather, either in full bloom or opening up their lovely blooms now. It's been a busy last month and will be for another so I didn't get a little more updated photos as some of these are blooming more since taking the photos.
Kramer's Rote. It always catches my eye when I pull in my driveway. The petal coloration is gorgeous and it literally covers itself in blooms. One of my favorites.
Vivelli and it definitely fits that name. Not only throws up pretty blooms but has this gorgeous reddish orange colored foliage all winter. One of my shorter growing Heathers.
Mediterranean White. The foliage stays more compact and the flowers are white and have since covered a much larger area .
Irish Treasure is a lovely bloomer that is planted next to Kramer's Rote and they very much compliment each other.
Goldrush is one of my taller ones, maybe around 18 inches and a little more golden than shows but nothing compared to Golden Starlet below and is just starting to throw up some blooms.
Mary Helen is just starting to bloom. It's winter foliage is bronze in color. Not a favorite but it does look nicer than appears in the photo.
Arthur Johnson is another one that gets about 18 inches high. It's just starting to bloom and produces soft pink color.
Jack Brummage is another one that blooms are lovely but the orange winter foliage is wonderful and it adds a lot of color to the winter garden.
Furzey is a beautiful Heather. Lavender blooms that are really lovely and unfortunately the photo just doesn't show how lovely.

Spring Cottage is one of my very short ones and always winters like a trooper. The blooms are just starting on this one.
Golden Starlet is one of my very favorites. The blooms here are white and this is one of my low growers, but it's value for me lies with the beautiful gold foliage which remains all year.
Myretown Ruby is a lovely small Heather that has beautiful magenta flowers that are close to the foliage and makes the foliage look colored.
Heather and Heaths add so much to the garden year round, but it can be a little difficult to grow. I think it's mainly finding the right variety for each individual area you want to grow it in.
