Fire Star

Fire Star

This upright and spreading heather has yellow/orange foliage throughout the year, but turns fiery red from December through March. The mauve-rose flowers appear in August and contrast nicely to the coppery foliage. This heather is new to us, and we are excited to evaluate it for year round interest.
