Finale

Calluna vulgaris ‘Finale’ is a compact, late-season flowering heather that brings a vibrant burst of color to the garden when many other plants are beginning to fade. Forming a dense, low-growing mound of fine, evergreen foliage, it typically reaches 8–12 inches tall and spreads 12–18 inches wide, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, containers, and mass plantings.

In late summer and autumn, ‘Finale’ produces abundant spikes of rich rosy-purple flowers that blanket the plant, creating a brilliant display that attracts bees and other pollinators. The blooms persist for weeks, extending the season of interest well into fall. Its deep green foliage provides year-round texture and structure, complementing both flowering perennials and conifers.

Like all heathers, ‘Finale’ thrives in full sun and well-drained, acidic soil. It is tolerant of poor soils and coastal conditions once established, requiring little maintenance beyond a light annual trimming after flowering to maintain a dense, compact habit.

Reliable, colorful, and easy to grow, Calluna vulgaris ‘Finale’ is an excellent addition to heather gardens and mixed landscapes, providing lasting beauty and valuable late-season color when it is needed most.
