I would highly recommend tree heather to anyone who likes heathers. I will say however, that you need to give them lots of room to grow. Mine is extremely happy, and I had to prune it significantly this year to be able to walk through the path beside it. Should have pruned it at a different time so it would not have cut off the blooms (you can see that the left side is kind of naked!), but didn't have much of a choice this time around. The good thing is that I have no question that it will be full white again by next year.


My tree heather is in full bloom right now, as is my Carol Mackie daphne in the foreground (such as it is after a rough winter... it is usually much fuller), and my wallflowers are still going gangbusters. This path is right outside my back door, so you can imagine the dreamy scent I get when I leave the door open right now!
