Garden Girls Heather
Calluna vulgaris ‘Garden Girls’
4-inch pot
 
A colorful evergreen heather, Garden Girls is prized for its dense spikes of vibrant flower buds that remain tightly closed, providing weeks of brilliant color from late summer through fall. Available in a wide range of shades including white, pink, lavender, and deep purple, the long-lasting buds maintain their vivid appearance far longer than traditional flowering heathers. Fine, needle-like evergreen foliage adds year-round texture and interest to borders, containers, and rock gardens.
 
Rather than a single cultivar, Garden Girls is a collection of bud-blooming heather selections bred for exceptional longevity, compact growth, and reliable garden performance. These hardy plants thrive in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil, making them excellent choices for autumn containers, mass plantings, and low-maintenance landscapes.
