Wrzos
Wrzos, commonly known as heather, is a flowering plant belonging to the family Ericaceae. It is characterized by its small, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of purple, pink, or white. Wrzos typically grows in acidic, sandy soils and is often found in heathlands, moorlands, and coastal areas. It plays a vital role in local ecosystems, providing habitat and food for various wildlife.
In addition to its ecological importance, Wrzos is also valued for its ornamental use in gardens and landscapes. Its ability to thrive in poor soil conditions makes it a popular choice for low-maintenance gardening. The plant is often associated with Scottish culture and is used in traditional crafts, such as broom-making.
