Heather - Lady in White
Heather - Lady in White Heather - Lady in White, Calluna vulgaris 'Lady in White', is a summer flowering budblooming heather that is upright and branching. The Lady in White offers a profusion of lovely bright pink-rose blooms from late August until November! Attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, Lady in White has lovely fragrant flowers that look outstanding in borders, as groundcovers, in containers, or in rock gardens. Callunas grow and flower best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Good drainage is very important since they are liable to get root diseases if growing in wet spots. Prune by cutting branches below the flowers in fall or in early spring in colder zones. It requires full sun and acid loving fertile well drained soil that is humus rich. Lady in White is a budbloomer which means that it is a form of Calluna in which the flowers never develop beyond the bud stage, but as a result, keep their color for a long period. Zones 5-7 * Late Summer Bloomer!
