Heather label moved from valid to invalid Heather

"Handy Guide to Heathers - Descriptions & Suppliers of over 1000 varieties" by David & Anne Small. Published in 1992 by Denbeigh Heather Nurseries in the UK. ISBN 0-9519160-0-9. It provides a handy reference to descriptions of heathers in the genera Andromeda, Bruckenthalia, Calluna, Daboecia and Erica which are commercially cultivated in Britain, Europe and North America. The information has very largely come from the work of the Heather Society on producing an International Register of all heather names irrespective of whether they are in commercial use or not.

Heather Kavanagh and Chris Garnons-Williams took photos of the 1000 cultivar heather collection at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden at Wisley. Between us we found 848 of those 1000 different heathers, which we took photos of in each of the 4 seasons for each heather:-

Heather took 11,687 photos of these heathers between August 2012 to October 2014, while Chris took photos of other plants in that RHS garden at Wisley during each day that we visited together.
Chris took 3764 photos of these heathers between October 2014 to May 2015
Noting the problems we encountered as shown in
- COMMENTS page with more examples of heathers with invalid Plant Labels in
- Label moved from elsewhere Page , we are concerned as to the validity of the identity of the photos that we took. Each time that heather was photoed, its label was the first picture taken. If there was 1000 different heathers there, then the labels of 152 had been removed and thus those heathers were mixed with other heathers. I have taken the decision that as long as the name on the label matched the description of the foliage/flowers of the heather by the label, I would accept that label identity.

Some heathers besides having flowers have foliage colours that change from 1 season to the next season in the UK -

Spring (March, April, May),
Summer (June, July, August),
Autumn (September, October, November) and
Winter (December, January, February).

This Comparison Gallery provides comparison pages of the:-

18 flower colours with flower and flower stalk as shown in the menu table above,
18 flower colours with flower and flower stalk in each of the months that heather flowers,
7 foliage colours with foliage stalk and form per season as shown in the menu table above, and
Each of the Heather Cultivar Groups with flowers

THIS COMBINATION OF FOLIAGE COLOUR CHANGE CAN BE USED IN YOUR GARDEN DESIGN TO AID DIFFERENT GROUNDCOVER FOLIAGE COLOURS IN DIFFERENT SEASONS, together with the months of flower buds before flowering and the post months of seedheads.

Daboecia azorica

"This species is found growing in the azores up to a height of 2000m, but despite this, clones so far collected are easily damaged by -5 degrees C frosts. It is distinguished from Daboecia cantabrica by being a more diminuative plant with smaller leaves and flowers with no hairs on the corolla. Plants sold under this name are usually Daboecia x scotica."

Daboecia cantabrica

"St. Daboec's heath has broad leaves, white on the underside, and large flowers which drop when finished. They will tolerate a little shade but should not be planted directly under trees. They are remarably resistant to drought. Some cultivars suffer in winter if planted in heavy ground, frost hollows, or in cold windy aspects."

Erica arborea

"A tree heath which in our UK climate may reach 3-5 metres. It is not as tolerant of lime as is commonly supposed and is best grown in acid conditions. Young plants should be shaped in the early years to avoid untidy growth. It is not generally very hardy but there are exceptions. Can be damaged by heavy snowfalls but will break from the base again."

Erica australis

"Tree heaths with rather straggly growth preferring acid soils. However, their flowers, large and showy, are outstanding. Prone to snow and wind damage."

Erica carnea are listed in the Erica carnea Gallery

"One of the hardiest of all heaths and very easy to grow in almost any soil. All exhibit a dwarf carpeting habit and with few exceptions rarely require pruning. Care must be taken when pruning as Erica carnea buds as early as July in the UK. It is safer to prune immediately after the flowers have faded. Prune around the edges and very lightly over the top of the plant. The flowering times of Erica carnea vary markedly, plants in milder climates being as much as 2 months earler than in colder conditions. Generally they can be expected to show flower for 6-8 weeks within the time span stated."

Erica ciliaris

"This species occurs naturally in moist acid sunny positions, but experience has shown that, in cultivation, it can withstand drought as well as any other Erica. This species has the largest bells of our native UK heaths."

Erica cinerea are listed in the Erica cinerea Gallery

"A species commonly found on the drier parts of moors and heathlands but fares no better than other ericas during periods of drought. Whilst the majority of the cultivars have rather drab dark green foliage, they are well worth growing for the great richness and range of their flowers. Acid soil is essential to grow this species successfully."

Erica x darleyensis

"One of the easiest heathers to grow. It is suitable for all soils and particularly good at smothering weeds. These cultivars are hybrids between Erica carnea and Erica erigena and, like all sterile hardy hybrids, have coloured young foliage and a long flowering period. Hardy"

Erica spiculifolia

"Erica spiculifolia (Bruckenthalia) - Bruckenthalia's beautiful name has been changed to plain old Erica. This is probably the hardiest heath of all. When all others are damaged, Bruckenthalia remains unharmed. Needs good drainage, acid soil and sun. The flowers are held above the plants in short compact racemes. It is an early season bloomer and sometimes blooms again in the fall. They rot off at the base branch by branch if too wet. Zone 4 (-30 below) - probably Zone 3 - and warmer." from Heaths and Heathers.

Erica umbellata

"A very useful and colourful species as it flowers between Erica carnea and Erica cinerea. It will grow in alkaline soils but requires a well-drained soil. It can withstand drought and is fairly hardy provided the soil is free draining. It flowers profusely especially if it is not trimmed"

Erica vagans

"A native UK species found on the serpentine and gabbro rocks of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, but will be successful in any soil containing a high content of magnesium. It provides a very useful range of colours during September and October. The faded bells of many cultivars become an attractive russet in winter."
