Heather

• Calluna vulgaris grows throughout Europe and western Asia. It is a notable plant of the British Isles, where the shrub thrives throughout the region’s dry, acidic soils. Heather has been a revered plant in Scotland for millennia and was used as firewood, thatching, bedding, and broom making. Heather tips were utilized for their wellness supporting properties and as the main ingredient in meads and ales. Heather flowers can be steeped as tea, added to bath and body creations, and used in homebrewing. Heather flowers and leaves can be enjoyed as an infusion and used topically in skin care products. Historically, a strong tea was brewed and added to baths. Heather flowers can also be infused in honey, added to herbal syrups, used as a dying agent, and employed in brewing recipes.   
• White heather flowers are said to be good luck in Scotland much like the four-leaf clover is in Irish Celtic tradition. To this day, white heather flowers are used in Scottish weddings as an accent or in bridal bouquets. Some legends say that the white flowers grow over the burial grounds of faeries.
