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.

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item. This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them. I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows? The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart. I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.

Great little toy for playful small dogs
These toys are a soft latex kind of material. I would not recommend these for larger dogs who can wreck a tennis ball, or who are rough with toys. The material of these toys lasts quite a while, but does break down in direct sunlight in addition to dog saliva and being left outdoors in inclement weather. My dogs have played with these toys for a week's time with no adverse reactions from the materials. For a better explanation of the toy, see my video. I show a "durable" toy that is at least 12 years old. I show a similar toy to these here, but shaped like a chicken. It is showing the effects of time, and dog love; it was a favorite of my previous pet, and bequeathed to the dogs I now have. This chicken toy will "disappear" soon because its material is breaking down. I highly recommend these toys for dogs who like small toys, soft toys, and toys that squeak. I do not recommend these for dogs who are "chewers" of toys, large dogs who may swallow this toy(it fits in an average woman's palm), for owners who hate squeeking toys, or for a pack of dogs who will bite and pull at this toy. Although it does have stretch, it can be sliced with sharp teeth, and come apart.

FOUND IT!!!
My dog had found one of these on the road and absolutely love this toy it had hole in it from other dog's teeth hardly bounced but he loved it. I looked in every store I went to trying to find this toy could never find it finally was looking for dog toys found this package, was hoping it was the same thing. Oh it was! When I say my dog loves his toy that is an understatement he has played and will play with this for hours no problem leaving him at home alone he is entertained. If he's not throwing this around and chasing it he's laying down and sleeping because he's wore out. It's squeaky it's bouncy and hopefully durable it is soft fits in his mouth and he just has literally a ball with it. He is laying here panting so much right now from playing with this ball this morning to your dog a favor and yourself get these balls get this toy. On the other side of that you might have to take it away from them when you go to bed at night because ours wants to play with it at the weirdest times and it is squeaky thanks so much hope this helps
