In autumn, our discounts, as well as balconies and terraces, fill up with lovely heathers.Although in natureheather bloomsbriefly, modern varieties bloom even for several months.Record holders are the so-called bud varieties included in the Garden Girls group. Their flowers never open, all the time remaining in a closed but colored bud phase.
In moderate winters, they remain decorative even until February! They are also perfect for drying off.In addition to long flowering, these varieties are characterized by high frost resistance, therefore they work well in container cultivation.
We can find among them varieties with white flowers (buds): 'Klaudia' and 'Alicia', pink, e.g. 'Alexandra', 'Anette', 'Aphrodite', or red carmine - 'Larissa'. Recently, varieties with colorful leaves have been added to the Garden Girls group, incl. 'Bonita' or 'Theresa'.Like most heathers, also the bud varieties make a great impression in larger groups, so it is worth displaying them in large pots, baskets or bowls.
They can be combined with other species, incl. coniferous shrubs, perennials
with decorative leaves or seasonal plants with gray foliage.To decorate a table or window sill, they can also be planted individually in the same pots or casings placed next to each other.
