Summer Heather 'Flamingo'

It should be self-evident, but if you come across a plant with "flamingo" in its name, you should put some in your garden. Certainly if it comes as a recommendation from the knowledgeable folks at Wells Medina Nursery, as this one did. This Flamingo Heather works hard to avoid disappointment. What other plant has foliage that is hues of red, pink, and green, as a bakground for pink flowers? An exuberant show of color, peaking in August and Septmeber. This heather is a slow grower that can only tolerate acidic soil. When it takes well to a spot, the Flamingo Heather can endure for 20 years or more.
