As if its ever-changing foliage weren’t enough, this hardy, evergreen heather bursts into bloom from late fall through early spring with delicate lavender-pink flowers that provide much-needed color when little else is blooming. Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and incredibly low-maintenance, ‘Mary Helen’ thrives in rock gardens, borders, and mass plantings, offering four-season interest with virtually no effort.
