Calluna ‘V Zeta’ Description

Calluna ‘V Zeta’ is a hardy evergreen heather with a compact, upright habit and firm yellow-green foliage. Unlike most common heathers, this selection is grown entirely for its colourful leaves and does not normally produce flowers. It therefore provides lasting structure rather than a seasonal flowering display and does not offer the nectar value associated with open-flowered callunas. Mature plants generally remain below 50cm and work well in rock gardens, heather beds, containers and massed border planting. Grow in full sun to maintain the brightest yellow colouring, as shaded plants may become greener. Acidic, moist but well-drained soil is essential. It is hardy in Ireland, although stagnant winter water and lime-rich soil should be avoided.
