Crossleaf heath 'Alba Mollis'

Whereas the parent plant has mauve-colored flowers, crossleaf heath 'Alba Mollis' has bright white flowers. That explains the name, since "alba" means "white" in Latin. This attractive hybrid was given the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society. The plan's unique urn-shaped flowers bloom for long periods throughout summer and into the fall. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for growing on slopes or as a hedge.
