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. |
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. |
12 x 20 (30 x 50) Large glowing Magenta flowers, July-October, with dark green foliage. Compact habit |

4 x 14 (10 x 35) White flowers, July-October, with mid green foliage. Broad spreading habit. A sport from ‘Lawsoniana’ found by Dr Ronald Gray (Hindhead, Surrey). |
10 x 22 (25 x 55) White flowers, VII–IX, large, very floriferous; mid-grey-green foliage; vigorous; height 21–25cm; spread 46–60cm. Outstanding, one of the best white heathers; much better than ‘Doctor Ronald Gray’. |
48 x 30 (120 x 75) White flowers, IV–V, profuse; lime-green foliage with bright yellow young shoots in spring; broad compact habit; height 1m and more; spread 61–75cm. Hardier than some other clones.

48 x 34 (120 x 85) Lilac-pink (H11) flowers, IV–VI; dark green foliage; height at least 1m; spread 75–100cm. Outstanding, but requires to be well pruned to avoid it becoming straggly. |

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. |

Ramblers Scramblers & Twiners by Michael Jefferson-Brown (ISBN 0 - 7153 - 0942 - 0) describes how to choose, plant and nurture over 500 high-performance climbing plants and wall shrubs, so that more can be made of your garden if you think not just laterally on the ground but use the vertical support structures including the house as well. 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. |
