Calluna vulgaris is a bushy, dwarf shrub that enjoys full sun and acid soil. Stems are packed with tiny green leaves and flowering spikes. Its flowers are a magnet for bees.

Calluna vulgaris 'Annemarie' is a densely branched, mat-forming evergreen heather, bearing long clusters of showy pink urn-shaped double flowers. It makes a great choice for ground cover and using as a foil for other plants in rock gardens and containers. Evergreen, its green summer foliage turns bronze in winter.

Grow Calluna vulgaris 'Annemarie' in moist but well-drained acidic soil, in full sun. Trim off old spikes as they start to fade to maintain growth and colour.
