Dull, lifeless winters? Not if ‘Myretoun Ruby’ has anything to say about it. This tough-as-nails winter heath erupts in a sea of ruby-red blooms from January through April, proving that color doesn’t quit when the cold rolls in. Nestled in deep green, needle-like foliage that shifts to bronze in winter, this low-growing, spreading groundcover is the ultimate no-fuss, high-impact garden performer. Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and built to thrive in poor soils, it’s perfect for rock gardens, slopes, borders, and mass plantings—just plant it and watch it do its thing.
