Old Gold Scotch Heather

Old Gold Scotch Heather

Also known as 'Fraser's Old Gold', this interesting scotch heather has a wide range of colors throughout the seasons. In summer it is a bright yellow and has lavender flowers in July through August, but in winter the foliage turns an incredible, intense orange red. Similar to 'Firefly' but more on the orange side. A planting with both 'Firefly' and 'Old Gold' would be a stunning combination.
