Calluna Kerstin Heather

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.

Watering

Watering Needs:

Let dry between waterings
  • Light: Prefers full sun for the most vibrant foliage and best flowering.
  • Soil: Requires acidic, well-draining soil—amend alkaline soils with peat moss or ericaceous compost.
  • Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, but appreciates deep watering in dry spells.
  • Maintenance: Light pruning after flowering keeps it compact and encourages fresh growth.
  • Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 5-8, thriving in cooler climates and rugged landscapes.
  • Additional Tips: Perfect for borders, mass plantings, rock gardens, or spilling over containers. Deer-resistant and pollinator-friendly.
