A Heather Border

I love the pink one, and the white one with dark red tips .... very nice :-))))

Thanx :) The Pink 1s r my fav 2 Louise :)

Your border is certainly coming along well ... you've got some lovely heathers there - particularly like the pink one.

Hi Bernieh :) there r 6 Heathers in this Border !!! But 1 is very small & has no flowers :( il add its pic to this Blog @ a l8r date :)

They're beautiful Jacque. They will grow and join up to form a lovely colourfu carpet. You'll be able to enjoy them for years.

Thanx Hywel thats what im hopeing 4 :) Heathers hold a childhood memory 4 me which makes me smile :) I do want 2 make this border bigger & add a few more different varitys:)Phil wanted me to grass this area over again but i z NO ;) lol

Oh I'm glad you didn't grass it over . In my old cottage I took the front lawn away and put heathers. It was much nicer and less work aswell. You'll be glad you put them Jacque :o))

Hi Jac... This border looks pretty...
When you made the border, did you have to put in ericaceous soil in for some of the heathers, and do you have to top up with similar compost ?

I dont regret making this border Hywel :) Phil just prefers grass to Flowers :( Hi TT When i planted The Heathers i added Lots of Ericaceous Soil & add more to it around their roots as they grow :) The Bark Chip gives them a nice Wood Land feel & stops them drying out as this Border is in Full Sun all day :)

Thanks, Jacque... the border is developing nicely :o)

I commented on the individual photo you've published, I had not seen this blog.
Even though I copied from a website, I think exactly what I wrote, and you will have the chance to read it written correctly.

Yw TT will u be making a Heather Border yourself now ? :) Thanx 4 your Lovely Comment on the Heather Pic Amano :)

It really looks great Jacque :o))

Thanx its getting there isnt it Clarice :D

It sure is ....

lovely heathers.......

That's lovely Jacque. I'm glad TT asked about the soil, I wouldn't mind trying to create a similar border. I didn't realise full sun was ok either, which is great because that's all I've got!

Yes, Jac. currently, I have heathers in containers, and in a raised bed, but might make another heather area....

Hope mine turn out as nice as yours Jacque.

Lovely shape and gorgeous heathers

Heathers are great ...you know they'll never let you down. Nice border Jac ;o)

lovely jacque, hywel is right once they join will look beautifull :o)
