Why choose autumn heather (Calluna) in the garden?
Autumn heather, also known as Calluna, is a popular plant that blooms beautifully from late summer into autumn. The small, densely growing flowers add colour and life to the garden when many other plants are starting to fade. The classic Calluna is also attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a good choice for a biodiversity-friendly garden. The bud-flowering heathers keep their colour for the longest time, and the flowers never fully open. The plant is robust and requires minimal care.
How to plant autumn heather
When planting autumn heather (Calluna), it is important to choose well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Dig a suitable hole, place the plant and fill in fresh acidic soil around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting and ensure regular watering in the first few weeks until the plant is established. To ensure beautiful flowering, you can remove faded inflorescences after the season and prune lightly so that the plant remains compact and healthy.
Care and use of Calluna
Autumn heather thrives in beds, on the terrace in pots or as ground cover in larger areas. Calluna is frost-resistant and can survive the winter with minimal protection. It does not require much fertilizer, but needs something to stay beautiful and come back next season. Combine with other autumn perennials and grasses to create beautiful, colorful compositions in the garden.
