The variety is most often used in heather gardens and as an element of arrangements in flower beds or in pots. This shrub has a compact, columnar habit, most often regular. It grows to a height of 30cm and a similar width. This feature makes the plant an ideal choice both for group plantings in the garden and for decoration in pots.

Easy to grow - does not require professional knowledge

The unusual appearance of the plant may wrongly suggest that the plant requires complicated care. The reality is completely different - even an amateur gardener can manage flaming heather.

• Growing place: it is best to choose a sunny place, where the leaves of the plant will have the possibility to develop their colour most intensely. In partial shade the plant will lose the intensity of its colour, however it will still delight. It is worth making sure that the sun reaches the plant for most of the day.
• Soil: : like all heather plants Skyline Golden Angie also prefers acidic, light and permeable soil. It can be ready-made soil for heather plants. If the soil is too heavy and clay-like, it is worth improving its structure by adding sand and peat.
• Watering: heather requires constantly moist soil, however it should not be waterlogged. Young seedlings are especially exposed to drying out, therefore you should remember about regular watering of this plant.

Care that every gardener can manage

When having Golden Angie heather, you should remember about spring pruning of the seedlings. This treatment should be carried out in early spring by shortening the shoots by 1/3 of their length. Pruning will stimulate the plants to produce new shoots, which results in thickening of the heather. The plant is frost-resistant so it does not require special preparation for the winter season. Only the root systems of plants grown in pots are exposed to low temperatures. In this case, the pot should be wrapped with thermal insulation material.
