Calluna vulgaris, common heather, ling, or simply heather, [1] is the sole species in the genus Calluna in the flowering plant family Ericaceae.It is a low-growing evergreen shrub growing to 20 to 50 centimetres (8 to 20 in) tall, or rarely to 1 metre (40 in) and taller, [2] and is found widely in Europe and Asia Minor on acidic soils in open sunny situations and in moderate shade.
It is drought-tolerant and grows well in full sun with well-drained soil. Like most heathers, it is a calcifuge and dislikes alkaline soils (e.g. calcareous) which cause the symptoms of iron deficiency. Like other cultivated heathers, it is often seen as groundcover among plantings of dwarf conifers. [6]
