Q.What Is This Shrub Called, Photo Of Which Is Attached ?

Zone BN21 1BT | dotdickinson13 added on October 23, 2020 | Answered

Thought I had planted 6 small heathers on the family grave but after 3 years this one took over completely and looked like a golden globe. It has “flowered” for months and does it now need taking right back to the hard wood ? Suggestions please.

It looks like Scotch heather. You don't need to prune till spring and it's gorgeous!
