Winter Heath plants are easy to grow when planted right and in the right environment. They prefer the same soil conditions as do azaleas and rhododendrons; moist but well-drained and acidic. Though a well-drained soil is needed, they like the ground to stay moist. That said, as with so many other types of ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Overly dry soil can be problematic as well. Provide occasional deep soakings during prolonged drought. To flower their best give winter heath full to mostly sun. Some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of summer afternoons will be appreciated in the warmer southern zones where they grow. We suggest 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day.
