    The evergreen tree heather 'Polar Express' is a vigorous, upright, medium-sized shrub. In bloom, discrete white flowers are produced from late spring to early summer. This bushy shrub with dark green leaves works superbly well as a feature plant, providing height and texture for other acid-loving plants, either in pots or borders.

  • Garden care: Plant 'Polar Express' with a blend of ericaceous compost and well-rotted 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.
