Embrace the beauty of fall with the perfect additions to your garden - Calluna and Erica cultivars.
Here's what you need to know:
Ideal Planting Time: Fall is the prime season to purchase and plant these beauties.
Moisture Matters: Ericas require a good amount of moisture for establishment. The West Coast's fall provides natural assistance.
Heath and Heather: These plants are also known as Heath or winter Heather and feature needle-like leaves. They're a boon for early pollinators, blooming from winter into spring.
Easy Maintenance: After their blooms have faded, you can give them an overall shear for that tidy, "Muffin Top" look.
Callunas' Unique Foliage: Callunas have a distinctive upright growth, offering various varieties for your garden. Avoid pruning, as they bloom from late summer into early winter.
Moisture and Soil Tips: Ericas and Callunas need ample moisture and proper soil placement. They thrive with 4-6 hours of sunlight. When planting in containers, consider using a water or pebble tray to maintain moisture. Opt for well-drained, gravelly, loamy soil over heavy or clay-based options.
