Heath herbs are low -growing, short plants with evergreen leaves. The short stems have many branches that sometimes get involved. The genus comprises around 860 species, including the closely related Calluna (Besenheide). The Calluna vulgaris blooms from summer to autumn, while the Erika Heidekraut is a typical winter flowering species and blooms from the end of August to deep into winter. Whether in the house, on the terrace or on the balcony, the Heide develops beautiful bell -like flowers and makes an excellent autumn decoration.
Erika Heidekraut in beautiful colors
The herb is available in different colors including white, pink, a wide range of purple and even red. Lila eriken stand for beauty while pink varieties are associated with luck. The meaning depends on the color.
White flowering species are less likely to be seen in the wilderness and for this reason are viewed as a lucky charm that also protects against dangers. In Scotland, a white Erikazweig is given as a gift or worn by the groom at a wedding. Most flower shops today sell heather plants in a variety of colors.
The pretty plant as a autumn decoration
Beautiful autumn decorations can be conjured up with Heide branches. You can use it to do it, tie a door wreath, decorate napkins and make beautiful flower arrangements for the table.
To make these beautiful balls, you need heath branches, plug-in foam ball, moss, silver wire and beautifully discolored redIvy leaves. Dip the plug-in foam ball in water, wrap with moss. Place heath branches and ivy leaves on top and wrap the whole thing again with wire. The ball can be placed in a bowl or on the table, or create a decorative tree in a clay pot.
