A genus of flowering plants commonly known as heather, native to Europe and found across moorlands and rocky areas.
From the Latin and Greek term for heather, possibly deriving from a Celtic root. The scientific genus name was formalized in the 18th century for these hardy shrubs.
Calluna heather is so tough it thrives on rocky Scottish mountains where almost nothing else grows—one plant can live for 30 years and feed whole ecosystems!
