Blooms so large, similar to annuals that are grown specifically for bouquets, this perennial is a shrub that provides beautiful, bright pink and lavender blooms in the summer. Beginning in the spring with almost autumn-like foliage, this bush quickly turns green with light and warm temperature. In the summer, these blooms come alive in shades of pink and lavender, perfect for homemade bouquets.
This landscape shrub is hardy in zones five through eight. It is very versatile in that it can be used in large containers, in borders, along fencing, and within a landscape. It is a showstopper during the entire growing season. It is susceptible to deer, but it is beloved by bees.
Spring Torch Scotch Heather Care
The Spring Torch Scotch Heather grows upright, compactly. It thrives in partial sun and full sun exposure, making it a flexible shrub for anyone’s landscape. It prefers well drained soil, and is somewhat drought tolerant. It should only be watered if a considerable dry stretch has been observed. It can be fertilized gently once established.
This shrub can be pruned in the late winter, or early spring for rejuvenation purposes, the earlier it’s done the better. While this plant is perennial in zones five through eight, it should be protected from strong winter winds.
Spring Torch Scotch Heather Spacing
This is an upright, compact shrub. However, it can grow anywhere from 12 to 18 inches in height, and it should be spaced 24 to 30 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
