Plant Badges Growing in Your Garden

I'm looking to find some white heather to put outside. Does anyone know if it'll do well in small containers?

Heather tends to spread 3 feet or more. The purple one I have is currently in a wooden box container with some other plants, but I will need to transplant it later this year.

You could start it in a small container, but I would think you'd have to eventually transplant it (I could be wrong).

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! Does the heather overwinter well out of doors or do you move it inside a garage or some cool space?

No problem
Oh, and I forgot, there is a variety that grows more "up" rather than spreads out, so this might work for container gardening. There are about 500 varities of heather, so your best bet is go to your local nursery & see what they have.

Heather is very winter hardy
