Bell Heather (Erica cinerea) is found in a variety of habitats, including heathland, open woodland and even coastal areas. It particularly likes acidic, dry, well-drained soils.
The dark purple-pink, bell-shaped flowers appear between July and September, carpeting heathlands.
Bell Heather also makes a great garden plant and is an important nectar source for all kinds of insects, including Honeybees, Buff-tailed and Red-tailed bumblebees, Ruby tiger moths and rare silver-studded blue butterflies.
The honey that results from bees that feed on heather is dark and fragrant, and very popular.

Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
