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.

Durable, even for a Great Dane!
Color: Ultra, Size: XXL
I've bought many tennis ball sized ChuckIt balls in the past (for medium sized dogs we've owned), so when we knew we were going to be babysitting our daughter's Great Dane, I bought a bigger one for her. The 4" is perfect for her! She plays catch with it, but also likes to gnaw on it. It holds up great!

Another great product from Chuckit!
Color: Ultra, Size: XL
Exactly the high quality that I've come to expect from Chuckit! The plastic/rubber used in their products is extremely tough yet gives enough that it's hard to actually pierce the it and tear apart. We have had Chuckit! Sticks and Balls with launcher for years and love them all. This particular ball is pretty big so my 45 pound pit mix struggles to pick it up but that's part of the fun for him. My 85 pound pit mix can pick it up no problem. The only "complaint" is that the two of them have been having so much fun with their new ball, they have already knocked something over and broke it. 😁

Perfect for my mid size pit bull
Color: Ultra, Size: XL
Updating my review, the ball only lasted 5 days. I left the 5 stars because we had enough fun those 5 days to be worth the small price. She has dog has a lot of jaw strength, so I’m not surprised We have a mid size foster pit bull. This ball is her favorite toy. It’s durable and the perfect size for her to play ball safely.

Good quality
Color: Ultra, Size: Large, Color: Ultra, Size: Large
Great quality. I purchased for my daughter’s dog who destroys all toys. This toy holds up. I didn’t realize it was a large and the chickit stick she had was a medium. The large ball ended up working out good for playing inside the house. The dog likes it a lot.

Please read!
Color: Ultra, Size: Large
This dog ball is so useful! We have a large property and we use the Chuckit! thrower with the ball. The color and material of the toy is very high-quality and lasts for a long time. We have been using the Chuckit! brand for a long time now and we love their dog products! It is a good price and we buy replacement balls like once or twice every 6 months because they keep getting lost in bushes or trees 😂 After some time the color of the ball gets washed out and since our dogs are aggressive chewers, one of the balls we got broke and split open, but it was still usable! The reason that one broke is because we had it for a HECKA LONG TIME! It has no squeaker so when your dog has the ball it wont make any loud and annoying sounds. It is easy to pick up with the thrower and it seems durable and sturdy enough to last them a few months. I don't recommend as a cat toy because this ball is specifically designed for dogs. But is your cat likes fetch i guess it could work! The ball is soft enough to not be hard as steel, but is sturdy enough to not break immediately.
