Bell heather, also known as Scotch heath, Grey heath, Twisted heath, Fine-leaved heath, Purple heather
Bell heather generally requires low maintenance, suitable for gardeners who desire an unfussy plant. Key to bell heather care is ensuring well-drained, acidic soil, which replicates its natural heathland habitat. It is particularly important to avoid overwatering, as bell heather is susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions. Full sun exposure is another special consideration to encourage the best flowering performance.
