Calluna Cultivars Index

 

 

Species - Calluna vulgaris:-

"Calluna vulgaris is also known as Ling or "Scotch" heather.  These are the true heathers, among the hardiest and most varied of all hardy heathers.  Sizes range from small tufts, mounds and carpeters to shrubs about three feet tall.  Flowers can be single or double. There are even a few bud bloomers who hang onto their flowers through winter and look as if they are still in bloom.  There are many interesting foliage colors.  Some turn spectacular shades of orange and red during the cold weather of winter.  The varieties that show colored spring new growth are valuable for their several months of extremely showy foliage from January to June, and then they go on to bloom for an additional several months.
Callunas grow and flower best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.  The colored foliage plants need bright winter sun to turn those intense shades of orange or red.  Some experts recommend pruning the Callunas with spring colored tips in the fall so you get to enjoy the new growth without pruning it off. 
Good drainage is very important.  They are liable to get root diseases if growing in wet spots.  Callunas are lime haters.  Acid soil is ideal.  Bushy and low growing varieties are best for colder, snowy areas where they are more protected by snow cover. We can recommend the hardiest ones for those of you in Zone 3-4 country.  In the hot and humid South, it is best to stay away from lower varieties which can be susceptible to fungal diseases.  All Callunas but the most compact miniatures need annual pruning or plants will become straggly and unsightly.  Prune below the flowers on the stems after flowering in fall or in early spring in the colder climates.  USDA Zone 4 (-30 degrees) to Zone 8 or 10 with good care.  Heather is growing well in Zone 3 areas where they are buried in snow in winter." from Heaths and Heathers in the USA.

"The single species, Calluna vulgaris, is very widely distributed throughout Western Europe including Azores, Iceland and Faeroe Islands, eastwards into Siberia, and southwards into northern Morocco in North Africa; this range represents about 125̊ longitude west to east and 36̊ latitude north to south. Calluna is reported reaching about 2,700m altitude in southern Switzerland. Calluna is also a naturalized exotic plant in many other places including North America*, Australia and New Zealand.
Ling, Calluna vulgaris, is native in Britain and Ireland.
Low-growing, evergreen shrubs requiring acid soil. Calluna has minute leaves closely pressed to the shoots and small, usually lavender flowers in summer and early autumn. Suitable for USDA hardiness zone 5 but some cultivars are suitable for zone 4.
This species is very variable, and the numerous selected cultivars (cultivated varieties) reflect, indeed exaggerate, this variation. In habit, ling ranges from prostrate, 5 x 45cm (2 x 18in), to erect and spreading 60 x 75cm (24 x 30in). The foliage varies in colour from dark green to bright green, grey, yellow, orange and red, and there are silver-foliaged plants too. The flowering time varies; in the northern part of the distribution it blooms from June to August, whilst in the southern part of the distribution it blooms from August to November. The white to crimson flowers normally possess a cup-like, four-lobed corolla about, 3mm (¹⁄₈in) long, overlapped by four sepals of similar size and colour. Double-flowered and bud-flowering (called ‘bud-bloomers’) variants also exist and generally bloom later.
Ling is an important garden plant providing colour throughout the year.
White-flowered ling – the original white heather – has long been associated with good luck and is a popular wedding flower.
Calluna was used as the name for this heather ‘on account of its very frequent use in the construction of brooms’ – it was derived from the ancient Greek καλλύνω, (kallyno), in turn derived from καλός (kalos, beautiful)." from The Heather Society in the UK.

"Heather is a highly branched evergreen shrub. The numerous stems take root at the base, and there are also a large number of short side shoots. The leaves are very small and scale-like, their sides are often curled back so much that they are triangular in cross-section. The small reddish-purple flowers are borne on narrow spikes. Shrubs typically grow to around 60cm in height, but may occasionally reach 1 m." from Wildscreen Arkive in the UK.

 

Weeds of Australia, New Zealand and North America:-

Heather (Calluna vulgaris) reproduces mainly by seed, which can remain viable for extended periods (i.e. up to 100 years). Vegetative reproduction can also take place via a process known as layering, where branches in contact with the soil take root and form new plants.
Seeds are spread by wind and vehicles, animals or walkers brushing against the plants.
Although not yet widespread in Australia, and currently restricted to some parts of Tasmania, heather (Calluna vulgaris) has the potential to adversely affect environmentally sensitive areas. Because of this, and that fact that it is a serious weed overseas, it is on the Alert List for Environmental Weeds.
Mature plants form a dense canopy in sensitive open upland habitats. Because it forms a persistent leaf litter layer, sites with vigorous heather (Calluna vulgaris) populations are often virtually devoid of other species. This ability to dominate and displace the native vegetation leads to a severe loss of biodiversity and a reduction in the habitat available to native animals. It can colonise altitudes up to 1500 m and is therefore seen as a serious threat to Australia's alpine country. In Australia it could become an invasive weed in the alpine and sub-alpine areas of Tasmania, Victoria, southern New South Wales and the ACT.
It is of great concern in the high country of New Zealand, where it covers an estimated area of 6000 square km. In Mt Tongariro National Park it is the most widespread exotic weed species and competes with a wide range of native plants. It is also causing concern along the Atlantic coast of North America (i.e. from Quebec to New Jersey).
Because it grows in alpine and sub-alpine grasslands, heather (Calluna vulgaris) also has the potential to reduce the productivity of highland pastures if it becomes widely naturalised in south-eastern Australia." from Queensland Government.

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).


The Heather Comparison Gallery provides comparison pages of the:-

  • 18 flower colours with flower and flower stalk as shown in the menu table at the top of this page,
  • 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 at the top of this page, and
  • Each of the Heather Cultivar Groups with flowers

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.
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.
