Growing & Maintenance Tips for Calluna vulgaris 'Kinlochruel'

Calluna need a well-drained, evenly moist, acidic soil, rich in organic matter. They grow best in full to partial sun. A light, annual shearing, soon after flowering, will keep plants from becoming straggly, and allow the plant enough time to reset its  flower buds for the following year.
