Boskoop

Boskoop

Rich gold foliage turning orange with red tints in winter make this one of the most unusual foliage heathers ever. The plant was found by Harry Van De Laar in 1967 in his garden at Boskoop, Netherlands. The flowers are a nice lavender color and appear from August through September. A heather collector's favorite!
