Notes

'Beoley Gold' heather (Calluna vulgaris 'Beoley Gold') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy or loamy soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It stays evergreen and grows 12 to 18 inches tall. White flowers appear in summer and again in autumn, and bees visit them.

Pairs well with Blue fescue, Pink Lemonade blueberry, and Bristlecone pine.
