It is also known as calluna, false heather or common heather. It is often used for decoration in gardens and parks, as well as for its medicinal properties. Heather is a plant in the Ericaceae family, which typically grows in acidic, nutrient-poor soils. It is a perennial plant that blooms from July to September, producing small pink-purple flowers. It is very hardy and can survive extreme conditions, such as arid soils and cold climates. ֍ In Scotland, heather is an emblematic moorland plant. It is so important in Scottish culture that the heather has been Scotland's national symbol since the 14th century. Indeed, the Scots have long used heather to make witches' brooms, thatched roofs, baskets, musical instruments and even beers. In addition, the heather moors are natural habitats for many animal species, such as Scottish deer, dormouse and gray partridge.
