Spring Torch Heather (Calluna vulgaris 'Spring Torch')

Spring Torch Heather is a compact evergreen shrublet that delivers reliable structure and seasonal color in small spaces. It keeps beds looking finished year-round, then adds a second wave of interest with late-season flowers when many landscapes start to slow down. The foliage shifts through warm tip colors in cooler seasons, giving you color even when little else is blooming. Once established in well-drained soil, it is a low-fuss choice for sunny foundations, borders, and rock gardens.

Distinctive Features

This heather forms a dense, mounding habit with fine, needle-like evergreen foliage, and the tips often show vivid red to orange tones in winter into spring before settling greener for summer. From late summer into fall, it produces short spikes of small bell-shaped flowers in pink to lilac-pink shades, adding soft color above the foliage. The compact form makes it easy to repeat for a unified look, and it pairs well with other acid-loving plants. Its best foliage color and flowering come with strong light and sharp drainage.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade, with best color and flowering in full sun.
  • Soil: Well-drained, preferably acidic soil, and avoid heavy, wet clay.
  • Water: Low to medium, water regularly to establish, then water during extended drought.
  • USDA Zones: 4 to 7.
  • Mature Size: About 12 to 18 inches tall and 24 to 30 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Plant in a small drift as a focal point where the spring foliage tips and late-season flowers can carry year-round interest.
  • Foundation Planting: Use as a low evergreen base that keeps structure through winter.
  • Rock Gardens: Tuck into gritty, well-drained pockets where the mound stays tight and clean.
  • Border Edging: Repeat along paths or bed fronts for a crisp, evergreen line with seasonal color shifts.
  • Mass Planting: Group in multiples to create a unified carpet effect with late-season bloom.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Lightly shear after flowering to maintain a dense mound and prevent legginess.
  • Watering: Water deeply during prolonged dry spells, especially the first year.
  • Mulching: Mulch lightly with acidic organic material to protect roots and support soil condition.
  • Drainage: Improve drainage with grit or raised planting if soil tends to hold water.
  • Winter Care: Protect from winter wet, since soggy soil can reduce longevity.

Why Choose Spring Torch Heather?

  • Year-Round Structure: Evergreen foliage keeps beds looking finished in every season.
  • Seasonal Foliage Color: Warm-toned tips add extra interest in cooler seasons.
  • Late-Season Bloom: Pink to lilac-pink flowers extend color into late summer and fall.
  • Compact Habit: Mounding growth fits tight spaces and repeats well in designs.
  • Deer Tolerance: Often less appealing to deer than many broadleaf evergreens.

If you want a small evergreen that delivers more than just green, Spring Torch Heather is a strong choice. Give it sun, sharp drainage, and a simple annual shear, and it will keep its compact shape while cycling through seasonal interest. It looks best repeated so the mounds read as a deliberate design layer. In the right site, it becomes an easy, reliable backbone plant with a late-season bonus.

Holy Grail Micellar Water
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz
This is my holy grail micellar water! My skin can be sensitive and reactive at times, and this product has never let me down. It has never irritated my eyes or skin. I use it to double cleanse, although sometimes I use only this micellar water followed by a quick splash of water. It does not leave a film and leaves my skin feeling nourished and happy.

but takes quiet a good amount of cotton balls
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It removes makeup alright, but takes quiet a good amount of cotton balls. Haven't try it on waterproof makeup yet, but it does make make skin feels clean and isn't harsh. Edit: Tried it for a couple of days, and here's the verdict: It can remove makeup, but you'll need a good amount of it on a cotton pad, and likely you'll use more than one. It feels nice while it is on the face, though it clean best with light makeup, and it takes me a couple of cotton balls to clean eyeliner and mascara. I needed to use moisturizer after it, because it make my skin feels dry. It doesn't take long, and definitely save more time than washing with soap and water, but it's a little bit of a hassle, too. Oh well, at least it's very convenient.

THE Best facial toner period!!!
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This review is for the 200ml bottle I am one of those few but very fortunate people that isn't allergic to anything, or sensitive to most soaps, cleansers and toners. Unfortunately now that I'm in my fifties my face isn't as fuss free as it once was and soaps and cleansers that were once okay, are now either too harsh for my skin or dry it out. Worse than that are those products that irritate my eyes, especially if they're meant to be used around that area. What gives with these manufacturers whose products are supposed to cleanse your face, but irritate your eyes? Of course sooner or later you're going to get some in your eyes regardless of how careful you are. Which brings me to this amazingly excellent cleanser. A more accurate description of this cleanser would a "cleansing toner" as it's not really a face wash i.e. it doesn't soap or foam up like other facial cleansers. As I'm a guy and don't wear any make up I can't vouch for its efficacy in that department. But I can vouch most enthusiastically for its ability to strip your face clean of excess oil and grime picked up during the day without leaving your face feeling dry or tight. I do use it around both my upper and lower eyelids with zero eye irritation at all. It leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed with only the slightest hint of a clean refreshing smell, so it won't interfere with your perfume or cologne. I use it twice a day as an in between facial cleanser/refresher to eliminate that grimy oily look between my daily showers. Highly recommended for doing an excellent job without irritating or drying out my skin. Try it out yourself as this could be the only skin toner that you'll ever need, and it's reasonably priced too. :)
