Calluna vulgaris 'Angie' – A Vibrant Heather with Rich Pink Blooms

Calluna vulgaris 'Angie' is an exquisite variety of heather, known for its abundant, deep pink / orange blooms that appear in late summer and continue into autumn. This evergreen shrub offers striking seasonal colour, providing your garden with texture and visual interest year-round. Its compact, bushy form makes it perfect for borders, rock gardens, or containers, adding a splash of colour to any outdoor space.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:

• In spring, 'Angie' showcases dense, rich green foliage that remains vibrant throughout the season. The leaves provide a tidy, bushy form, setting the stage for the blooms to come.
• The plant starts to take shape, forming a neat, mounding structure.

Summer:

• As summer progresses, the first hints of flowering begin to emerge, with buds forming along the stems.
• The plant’s foliage remains lush and compact, adding visual interest even before the blooms fully open.

Autumn:

• 'Angie' comes into full bloom during autumn, with vibrant purple-pink flowers covering the plant, creating a stunning display.
• The flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to a wildlife-friendly garden.

Winter:

• In winter, the plant's evergreen foliage remains intact, continuing to provide structure and contrast against the colder, barer landscape.
• The flowers may dry on the plant, offering a different form of interest and texture through the winter months.

Structure & Form

• Height & Spread: Typically grows to around 30–40cm in height, with a spread of 45–60cm, making it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, or as a low hedge.
• Form: A compact, bushy shrub with a mounding habit, covered in small, needle-like leaves and vibrant purple-pink flowers.
• Growth Habit: 'Angie' is a slow-growing, low-maintenance plant that keeps a neat, uniform shape throughout the year. Pruning after flowering can help keep it tidy and encourage better blooms the following year.

Perfect for Various Landscapes

• Rock Gardens & Alpine Beds: Its low, mounding growth makes it perfect for rock gardens, where its colour contrasts beautifully with stones and other plants.
• Borders & Edges: 'Angie' works well as a border plant or along the edges of garden beds, adding vibrant seasonal colour while maintaining a tidy form.
• Wildlife Gardens: The late-season blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
• Containers & Patios: Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for pots, containers, and window boxes, where its colourful blooms will brighten up your outdoor living spaces.

Growing Conditions & Care

• Position: Prefers full sun or partial shade, although it flowers best when given plenty of sunlight. In shaded areas, it may bloom less prolifically.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and is well-suited to sandy, loamy, or peaty soil types. Avoid heavy, clay soils, as they can cause waterlogging.
• Maintenance: Very low-maintenance. Heather plants like 'Angie' benefit from minimal pruning, which should be done after the flowering season to encourage fresh growth.
• Watering: Tolerant of dry conditions once established, but benefits from regular watering during dry spells, especially in the summer.
