==Cultivars== There are many named [[cultivar]]s, selected for variation in flower colour and for different foliage colour and growing habits.<ref>{{cite web |title=RHS - Find a plant |url=https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/search-results?form-mode=true&query=Calluna%20vulgaris&isAgm=true&pageSize=20&startFrom=20 |website=rhs.org.uk |publisher=The Royal Horticultural Society |access-date=8 March 2022}}</ref> Different cultivars have flower colours ranging from white, through pink and a wide range of purples, and including reds. The flowering season with different cultivars extends from late July to November in the northern hemisphere. The flowers may turn brown but still remain on the plants over winter, and this can lead to interesting decorative effects. Cultivars with ornamental foliage are usually selected for reddish and golden leaf colour. A few forms can be silvery grey. Many of the ornamental foliage forms change colour with the onset of winter weather, usually increasing in intensity of colour. Some forms are grown for distinctive young spring foliage.<ref>{{cite web |title=Calluna Subcategories |url=https://www.heatherworld.org/category/heathers/calluna-heathers/ |website=heatherworld.org |publisher=Heather World |access-date=8 March 2022}}</ref> The following cultivars have gained the [[Royal Horticultural Society]]'s [[Award of Garden Merit]]: {{div col|colwidth=15em}} *'Alicia' (Garden Girls series)<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/112721/Calluna-vulgaris-Alicia-(PBR)-(Garden-Girls-Series)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Alicia' (Garden Girls Series) | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Annemarie' <ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/92106/Calluna-vulgaris-Annemarie-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Annemarie' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Beoley Gold'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/94178/Calluna-vulgaris-Beoley-Gold/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Beoley Gold' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'County Wicklow'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/98648/Calluna-vulgaris-County-Wicklow-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'County Wicklow' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Dark Beauty'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/96457/Calluna-vulgaris-Dark-Beauty-(PBR)-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Dark Beauty' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Dark Star'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/97679/Calluna-vulgaris-Dark-Star-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Dark Star' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Darkness' <ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/97680/Calluna-vulgaris-Darkness/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Darkness' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Elsie Purnell'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/97561/Calluna-vulgaris-Elsie-Purnell-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Elsie Purnell' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Firefly'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/98128/Calluna-vulgaris-Firefly/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Firefly' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Kerstin' <ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/95684/Calluna-vulgaris-Kerstin/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Kerstin' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Kinlochruel' <ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/95685/Calluna-vulgaris-Kinlochruel-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Kinlochruel' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Peter Sparkes'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/89076/Calluna-vulgaris-Peter-Sparkes-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Peter Sparkes' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Robert Chapman' <ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/90894/Calluna-vulgaris-Robert-Chapman/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Robert Chapman' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Silver Queen'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/89504/Calluna-vulgaris-Silver-Queen/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Silver Queen' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Sister Anne'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/89955/Calluna-vulgaris-Sister-Anne/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Sister Anne' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Spring Cream'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/90779/Calluna-vulgaris-Spring-Cream/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Spring Cream' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Tib' <ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/90121/Calluna-vulgaris-Tib-(d)/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Tib' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Velvet Fascination'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/92372/Calluna-vulgaris-Velvet-Fascination/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Velvet Fascination' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'Wickwar Flame'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/89601/Calluna-vulgaris-Wickwar-Flame/Details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'Wickwar Flame' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 12 April 2020}}</ref> *'White Coral'<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/96812/calluna-vulgaris-white-coral-(d)/details | title = ''Calluna vulgaris'' 'White Coral' | publisher = RHS | access-date = 8 March 2022}}</ref> {{div col end}}
