Calluna vulgaris 'Kinlochruel' (Heather)
A compact, low growing selection, with spikes of white, bell-shaped flowers throughout summer, over bright green leaves that bronze in winter; very particular about growing conditions; needs acidic organic soil, and will die in anything else
Kinlochruel Heather is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a mounded form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which should be used to full effect.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should not require much pruning, except when necessary, such as to remove dieback. It is a good choice for attracting bees to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Kinlochruel Heather features tiny spikes of white bell-shaped flowers at the ends of the branches from mid summer to mid fall. It has attractive green evergreen foliage. The needles are highly ornamental and turn coppery-bronze in the fall, which persists throughout the winter.
Kinlochruel Heather will grow to be about 8 inches tall at maturity extending to 12 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 14 inches. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.
Kinlochruel Heather makes a fine choice for the outdoor landscape, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor pots and containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers and foliage against which the thriller plants stand out. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
