Discover Tours

A Calluna vulgaris, or Common Heather, is an evergreen shrub that can be found in the wild throughout Eurasia and North America. It grows up to 1 meter tall and has small, pink flowers. The leaves are evergreen and needle-like, and the plant prefers acidic soil and partial shade.

The best time to see a Common Heather in bloom is in late summer or early fall. They can be found in many different habitats, from open woodlands to heaths and moorlands.

Common Heathers are a beautiful sight in the wild, and they are also an important part of the ecosystem. They help to stabilize the soil and provide food and shelter for animals. So next time you're out hiking or bird watching, keep an eye out for these lovely little plants!
