What is heathers habitat?

Heather (Calluna vulgaris) typically thrives in acidic, nutrient-poor soils and is commonly found in heathland, moorland, and coastal areas. It prefers open, sunny environments and often grows in clusters alongside other hardy plants. This hardy shrub is adapted to withstand harsh weather conditions, including strong winds and low temperatures. It plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife, providing shelter and food for various species.
