Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Once you witness the blazing intensity of this bushy mat-forming beauty there's no disputing its name. Summer paints sun-kissed gold and orange shades on dense needle-shaped foliage bejeweled with late blooming soft lavender-colored flowers, while frosty nights imbue radiant dark crimson reds to heat up the coldest winter day. 'Blazeaway' can be massed near Calluna 'Firefly' and Calluna 'Wickwar Flame' and juxtaposed against the dark greenery of Erica 'Purple Beauty' for a fulgent quiltlike spectacle.

This 12" x 12" beauty is indeed "a blaze" with foliage that is gold and orange in summer darkening to crimson-red in winter on compact 12" x 12" mat-forming shrublets and white to mauve flowers. Summer-fall. Sun-PSh/Med

Grown more for its foliage than its light mauve, late-summer flowers. Summer foliage is gold and orange, turning a blazing red in winter. Bushy habit.
