Folklore
Heather has long been associated with luck, protection, and new beginnings. In Scottish tradition, white heather was considered especially lucky and was often carried by brides or warriors for protection. It was also believed to be a favorite plant of the fae, growing in places touched by magic and mystery.
Medicinal
Heather has been traditionally used to support the urinary system, ease digestive discomfort, and promote relaxation. It contains natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it useful for soothing skin conditions and supporting overall well-being. A tea made from heather flowers has been used as a gentle remedy for stress and insomnia.
Time of Year
July – October
Heather blooms in late summer through early autumn, covering moors, hillsides, and heathlands with its vibrant purple, pink, and white flowers. As one of the last blooms of the season, it provides an essential nectar source for bees and other pollinators before the colder months set in.
