An exceptionally good tree heather 'Estrella Gold' has an excellent upright form with lime-green foliage, peppered with white flowers in late spring. As the season progresses, this fresh foliage becomes yellow tipped, offering wonderful seasonal variation and height in either a heather garden or mixed border. - Garden care: Plant 'Estrella Gold' with a blend of ericaceous compost and perhaps some ericoid mycorrhizal fungi in the planting hole. During the growing season water regularly, applying a half-strength application of a balanced liquid fertiliser every four weeks. After the plant has flowered trim with shears or secateurs to remove the dead flowers and encourage bushy growth.
