Scotch Heather 'Silver Knight' is one of the best grey foliage Heathers. Soft, silvery-grey foliage on erect branches deepens in winter to purple/grey. A mainstay in any Heather garden. Thrives in full or at least a half day sun with a S.E. exposure and a well drained, slightly acidic soil with plenty of organic matter to retain moisture. Excellent in mass plantings with other Heaths and Heathers or in the rock garden. Prune back each spring to ensure dense branching and a good show of flowers.
