Variety traits

Plant height — Common heather

Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull

A key morphological parameter of common heather, which determines the cultivar classification of the plant and its application in landscape compositions.

In the reference 22 varieties crop Common heather, where this is mentioned in the description.

Common heather cultivars are divided into groups: dwarf varieties reach 15–30 cm, medium-height varieties — 30–40 cm, and tall varieties — 45–70 cm or more. In the wild, in harsh mountainous areas or heathlands, plant height can decrease to 10–15 cm.

Height measurement is carried out using a linear scale for an individual bush or a group of plants. This indicator determines agrotechnical decisions: planting patterns to ensure aeration, the need for regular pruning to maintain crown density, and the prevention of stem exposure.
