Dorset heath is a plant species recognized for its adaptability and ease of care. Key care points include ensuring acidic, well-draining soil, as well as providing adequate water without letting the roots sit in moisture. Special care involves protection from harsh winds and provision of some shade in hotter climates to mimic its natural moorland habitat. Pruning after flowering maintains shape and encourages robust growth.
