Daboecia x scotica ‘William Buchanan’ full sun  partial shade

Premiering some of the biggest flowers amongst the Heathers and Heaths and attractive rosy seed pods perfect for dried arrangements, this vigorous low shrub was first spotted in the namesakes Glasgow garden. Diminutive, dark green, oval-shaped leaves with silvery undersides serve as a lustrous foil for the elongated spiky racemes of large, lantern-shaped crimson-purple blossoms.

‘William Buchanan’ is a close-knit long blooming Heath that appreciates well drained acid soils, a trim after flowering and a natural setting. He’s at home on a hillside, around the rockery or oceanfront. Zone 6/7.

Blooms June–October.

Size: 16" high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 7.

Customer Comment:

“I held my breath and opened the box (after a long delay in opening the delivered plants, due to catastrophic flooding), dug down through the damp paper shreds and found all the plants alive!!!! I'm so relieved. I had to write and thank you for the hardiness of the plants, and for packing them so carefully.... Thank you, Digging Dog. I'll be back.”
