Bring the iconic purple beauty of the Scottish Highlands to your garden with Scot’s Heather (Calluna vulgaris) Seeds. Known for its long-lasting blooms, evergreen foliage, and exceptional hardiness, this low-growing shrub creates a stunning carpet of color from late summer into autumn.

Scot’s Heather thrives in poor, acidic soil and windy, coastal, or mountainous climates—making it one of the easiest and most resilient perennials for borders, rock gardens, slopes, and wildflower landscapes. The tiny bell-shaped flowers attract bees and butterflies, while the evergreen foliage provides year-round interest in hues of green, bronze, and burgundy.

A perfect choice for naturalistic gardens, cottage landscapes, and erosion control, Heather is a must-have for gardeners seeking beauty, durability, and low maintenance.
