Give your autumn pots a fresh start with heathers. Their upright stems, tiny colourful buds and contrasting foliage bring a different texture to seasonal displays, with shades of pink, purple and white that look beautiful in the softer autumn light.
At Radway Bridge Garden Centre near Hereford, our Calluna Beauty Ladies selection offers plenty of choice for refreshing doorstep pots, patio containers and sunny borders. Choose your favourite colours or mix several together for a fuller autumn display.

Perfect for autumn pots and containers
Heathers are an easy way to replace tired summer bedding and give a favourite pot a new season of interest. Plant several together for a simple display that lets their colour and texture take centre stage.
For a longer-lasting planting, use a roomy container with drainage holes and peat-free ericaceous compost. These Calluna heathers prefer acidic growing conditions, so choosing the right compost gives them a good start.
They also work well in sunny borders with suitable acidic soil, where their low-growing, evergreen foliage can provide useful ground cover.
Caring for your autumn heathers
A few straightforward steps will help keep your heathers looking their best:
-
Choose a sunny position for the strongest display of colour
-
Provide good drainage: avoid waterlogged soil or pots sitting in water
-
Water after planting and during dry spells, keeping the compost moist rather than soggy
-
Trim lightly when the flowering stems turn brown, staying above the old woody growth
If you’re unsure whether your garden soil is suitable, growing heathers in containers is a practical option. Our Plant Team can help you choose the right compost and position.
