Maires Heather is an alluring blooming perennial that is low-maintenance and can serve a variety of uses in a landscape. New growth is pale green before settling into a deeper green hue once mature. Tall branched stems are covered with compactly and evenly spaced bell-shaped flowers. The white flowers of the Calluna vulgaris bloom during the summer. 

As a mat-forming groundcover, this shrub is full and dense. Plant in a sun-soaked area, especially on an embankment or a slope, and this beauty will thrive. The stems will grow up to 36 inches tall, making this plant a wonderful low hedge, border, or foundation planting. The stems add height to a bed or mass planting. Grow Maires Heather as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8. 

Maires Heather Care

Moist, acidic, well-drained soil is necessary to support this plant. Grow the Maires Heather in full sun to partial shade. Heather needs about one inch of water per week. Soil should remain consistently moist, but allow it to mostly dry out before watering. An acidic fertilizer applied during the spring will promote new growth. 

Pinch back new growth to encourage branching. This plant is naturally very dense but periodically remove dead or old growth to promote new growth. Cut back no more than one-third of the plant once per year.

Maires Heather Spacing

As an upright spreading plant, Maires Heather will grow 24 to 36 inches tall and wide. Space Heather plants 22 to 38 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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
