New growth tips emerge brilliant orange-red in spring, resembling tiny flames, before turning green. Mauve flowers bloom in late summer, but the colorful spring foliage is the main attraction.

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in lean, well-drained, acidic soil (pH 4.5–6.0). Space 12–18 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting. Excellent drainage is essential.

Care Tips

Water regularly after planting; once established it is quite drought tolerant. Shear lightly after flowering to maintain a compact, tidy form. Do not cut into old, leafless wood. Fertilize lightly in spring with an acid fertilizer. Spring Torch is a spring-blooming heather with vivid foliage color in addition to flowers- the young growth tips glow in warm, golden to orange tones in spring, creating a torchlike, colorful display even before the flowers appear. Largely pest-free and deer resistant.
