Winter got you down? Not on ‘Heathwood’s’ watch. This compact, ground-hugging powerhouse unleashes a riot of lilac-pink blooms from February through April, just when you’re convinced the garden’s given up. And the best part? As the season rolls on, those soft pink flowers deepen to a rich magenta, throwing a color shift into the mix like nature’s own magic trick. Nestled in dark bronze-green evergreen foliage, this cold-hardy, drought-tolerant, and deer-resistant beast thrives in rock gardens, borders, and mass plantings—zero fuss, maximum color.
