Heathers are attractive winter flowering shrubs with pink bell shaped blossoms. Plant in a half and half mix of soil and sphagnum peat moss or azalea planter mix. House plants need monthly feeding due to confined roots. Snip back six to eight inch snapdragon growth to boost side branching and flowers. Pick faded pansy blooms to encourage more flowers. Check plant crowns and remove soil if it smothers them.
