Clubmoss Mountain Heather

Overview

Clubmoss Mountain Heather is a small upright evergreen shrub native to the mountain areas of North America. Growing up to a metre in height and a metre wide, it has an emerald-green foliage with a woody stem and twiggy branches. The leaves are small, linear in shape, wooly-textured and clustered tightly against the stems. In spring, it produces spikes of small white or pink bell-shaped flowers followed by white puff-ball-like cones. This plant will thrive in well-drained, peaty soils in a sheltered, partially shaded location. It is ideal for banks and slopes, rockeries, and as an edging plant along pathways and borders. It is an attractive and hassle-free choice for mountain gardens.
