Do you need to repot heather from the pot it was shipped in?

Yes, it's generally a good idea to repot heather from the pot it was shipped in, especially if the plant is root-bound or the soil is of poor quality. Transplanting into a larger pot with well-draining soil can provide better nutrients and drainage, which are crucial for heather's health. Additionally, repotting allows you to inspect the roots and ensure they are healthy.
