Height x Spread in inches (cms) (1 inch = 2.5 cms, 12" = 1 foot = 30 cms) |
10 x 20 (25 x 50) Pale rose-pink flowers, June-July, with dark green foliage. Well worth adding to the heather garden. |
6 x 12 (15 x 30) Heliotrope flowers, June-July, with dark grey green foliage. Very much more attractive than the species. |
12 x 24 (30 x 60) Lavender (H3) flowers, July-August, with grey green foliage. Spreading habit. |
16 x 22 (40 x 55) White flowers, August-September, with bright green foliage. Although sold under the cultivar name 'Alba', they are not all the same clone and the name merely represents any 'lucky white heather'. The term f. alba covers all the whites. |
10 x 18 (25 x 45) White flowers, August-September, with distinctive dark green foliage. |
14 x 18 (35 x 45) White flowers, July-September, with mid green foliage. Broad spreading habit. |
20 x 28 (50 x 70) White flowers, August-October, with mid green foliage. An outstanding plant. |

Site design and content copyright ©December 2014. Index Page for each Comparison Page of Heather Comparison Gallery created in this Gallery in December 2014. Chris Garnons-Williams. |
Some heathers besides having flowers have foliage colours that change from 1 season to the next season in the UK -
and the Index for the heathers shown in each of these Comparison Pages is in 1 or more Index Pages in the relevant Heather Evergreen Shrub Index Gallery instead of being in the same Comparison page, due to their being too many to include within the available space. |

The Gardener's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Climbers & Wall Shrubs - A Guide to more than 2000 varieties including Roses, Clematis and Fruit Trees by Brian Davis. (ISBN 0-670-82929-3) provides the lists for 'Choosing the right Shrub or Climber' together with Average Height and Spread after 5 years, 10 years and 20 years. |
