Heathers are best not planted in mixed groups. They are best used as single plants in borders or on banks to provide colour at different times of year, calluna in late summer and autumn, erica in spring. Or they could be planted as small groups of 3 or 5, but in larger groups of mixed varieties, they tend to take from each other.
