Alba Jae White Summer Heather

'Alba Jae' is a classic, bright-toned cultivar that brings a crisp, refreshing look to the summer garden. Discovered in England in the 1950s, it is prized for its "two-tone" foliage and pure white blooms. It grows in a compact, mounded shape with a distinctly upright branching habit.

Old stories say that Picts brewed heather ale; a Viking legend tells of a king tortured for its recipe; white heather is considered lucky, and the plant was used for thatching and medicinal infusions. Give your garden a timeless tale to tell.
