Product Description
Heather Skyline Stockholm green
Skyline Stockholm is the best choice for people who dream of an evergreen garden, delighting with the freshness of colours throughout all seasons, including the coldest ones. This shrub fits this description perfectly. It is an unusual plant growing in a compact, dense form with a slightly upright habit. It reaches a maximum of 20-30 cm in height and a similar width. Unlike other heathers, its greatest advantage is its intense, green foliage. The regular shape of this shrub means that it is often chosen for group plantings and for growing in pots on balconies and terraces. In the autumn-winter season the colour of the plant may slightly darken, however the heather still does not lose its decorative appearance.
Ideal conditions for green heather seedlings
Although the Skyline Stockholm variety is considered one of the easiest plants to grow, it is worth knowing its basic requirements, which will allow you to enjoy the full beauty of this heather.
- Position: the best choice for this variety will be a sunny or slightly partially shaded position. In full sun the leaves will have the most intense shade of green, while in light partial shade the colour may become darker, but still very decorative
- Soil: heathers grow best in acidic soil with a pH between 3.5-5. It is also worth making sure that the soil is light, permeable and rich in humus. Ready-made soil for heather plants can be used for this purpose.
- Watering: Skyline heather is resistant to temporary drying out, however it is not worth allowing this. The soil should be constantly slightly moist. When growing in containers, the pots should have drainage holes, which will help avoid rotting of the root system.
- Planting: heather seedlings can be planted all year round, when the ground is not frozen, however it is best to do this in spring and autumn. A distance should be kept between the plants - about 20-30 cm.
Care of Skyline Stockholm heather
Green heather is an excellent plant for people who do not like a lot of work in the garden. The shrub only requires pruning in spring, which will allow it to make the shoots denser. Thanks to this treatment the heather will keep its compact form. It is also worth taking care of proper acidification of the soil, fertilizers for heather plants can help with this, however they are not necessary. Heather seedlings do not require covering for winter, because they are highly frost-resistant. In the case of plants grown in pots, however, it is worth taking care of the protection of the root system – it is best to wrap the pot with agrotextile or another insulating material.
