FAQ about Heather – Pink

What kind of soil suits heather best?
Heather thrives in well-drained, acid soil with a pH of 4.5-6.0. Sandy or peaty soil is ideal, and ordinary garden soil can be improved with ericaceous compost or composted bark. Good drainage is essential.
How often should heather be watered?
Water moderately but regularly, especially in dry spells and in the first year after planting. The soil should be moist but not wet. Use rainwater if your tap water is hard. Heather in pots dries out quickly and needs checking often.
When and how should heather be pruned?
Prune in early spring, before new growth starts. Trim off last year's faded flower spikes with shears to keep the plant compact. Do not cut into old, bare wood, as heather rarely produces new shoots from there.
Which pests and diseases can affect heather?
Heather is fairly trouble-free, but root rot can occur with poor drainage, and fungal diseases in damp, stagnant conditions. Soil that is too limy makes the leaves turn yellow. The right soil and good air circulation prevent most problems.
Is heather hardy?
Established heather is hardy and needs no special protection. In cold, exposed gardens young plants can be covered with fleece in their first winter. Heather in pots should be sheltered from hard frost and should not be allowed to dry out during winter.
