Cultivated Heathers and Heaths
"The trouble with gardening is that it does not remain an avocation. It becomes an obsession" Phyllis McGinley
If a plant below is highlighted in Green, touch or click on it to see a photo of the plant, its fruit or its flower in the garden. The long range goal is to photograph every plant at Distant Hill Gardens.
Heathers & Heaths of Distant Hill Gardens
Note: We have lost so many Heathers and Heaths over the years to severe winters with lack of snow cover, that we haven't planted any new varieties in a decade. Our list used to be much longer!
