Subtle, sophisticated, and absolutely unapologetic in its beauty, Calluna ‘Kerstin’ is a heather that refuses to blend in. With silvery-gray foliage flushed with lavender-pink highlights, this evergreen stunner transforms with the seasons, deepening into bronze and purple tones in fall and winter. Come late summer, it erupts with delicate pale lilac flowers, soft yet striking against its ever-changing foliage. Compact, tough, and unfazed by poor soil, ‘Kerstin’ thrives in rock gardens, borders, and containers, bringing low-maintenance, year-round beauty to any landscape.
