Calluna vulgaris Firefly

Calluna vulgaris ‘Firefly’ is a striking Scotch heather grown primarily for its vibrant foliage, which shifts from golden yellow in the growing season to rich copper and red tones in cooler weather. This evergreen shrub forms a low, spreading mound and provides year-round color and texture, especially in rock gardens and sunny borders. It prefers full sun and acidic, well-drained soil, with slow to moderate growth once established. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, it typically reaches 12–18 inches tall and up to 2 feet wide, adding strong seasonal interest even when not in bloom.
