How to Prune Bell heather?
(Erica cinerea)
Bell heather, also known as Grey heath, Purple heather
Prized for its vibrant purple flowers and evergreen foliage, bell heather requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape and encourage prolific blooming. Prune in early spring or winter, trimming off spent flowers and cutting back leggy stems to promote bushiness. Pruning after flowering allows for robust growth in the following season, enhancing the plant's natural heathered landscape. Regular removal of dead or diseased material keeps bell heather healthy and visually appealing.
