Flower color — Common heather
Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull
The flower color of heather is a key ornamental trait evaluated during variety testing using the RHS scale. It includes groups ranging from white to blue-violet shades and is characterized by saturation and stability indices.
In the reference 11 varieties crop Common heather, where this is mentioned in the description.
In accordance with international UPOV guidelines, the flower color of Calluna vulgaris is determined visually on the outer side of the sepals, which serve the primary ornamental function. To avoid subjectivity, experts use the RHS Color Chart, classifying varieties into groups: white, light pink, dark pink, red, purple-red, and blue-violet.
The trait is characterized by saturation and stability, which depend on light intensity and the age of the plant. An important biological feature is the retention of color by dried flowers for several months after the end of the flowering period, which determines the demand for specific color shades in landscape design.
