Winter flowering heathers are an easy way to add maintenance free colour to your hanging baskets and containers. There are a wide range of flower colours available from White through pink to the deepest red. Foliage also varies from dark blue green to bright gold.
Starting to flower now they should last through to early spring. Plant in an ericaceous, lime free, compost and try underplanting with dwarf bulbs such as grape hyacinths, scilla, or dwarf narcissi for that extra touch of colour after Christmas.
Look out for them now a your local garden centre.
