Common Heather (Calluna Vulgaris) is also known as ling. The name derives from Greek and Latin - 'Calluna' derives from a Greek word meaning to sweep (the plant was used to make brushes), 'Vulgaris' comes from the Latin word for common.

Young plants are an excellent food source for sheep and wildlife, particularly grouse. As it gets older, ling becomes degenerate and unpalatable. New growth is stimulated through the cutting and burning of heather moorlands, usually on a 15 year rotation cycle. This allows for continuous fresh growth for stock and wildlife.

At the end of July through to late August, the flowers turn the moorlands into a beautiful and vibrant purple landscape.

Shelled Warriors cannot be beaten on price or quality, that’s why hundreds return to us. See our feedback!

This is a beautiful variety making lushly leafy cushions and bearing in early spring a profusion of creamy-yellow flowers with an apricot centre. A lovely plant for a shady corner. 6 ins.

Hello Shelled Warriors was set up with the aim of getting the correct products out to tortoise keepers. 

I started this business as i found that many people where finding it hard to get hold of some products and that much of the advice given from pet shops and some internet sources is poor to say the least.

Here at Shelled Warriors we take in many tortoises rehomers who have had a bad life or just that their owns could no longer care for them.

We have vast knowledge of most species of tortoises from husbandry to breeding.


Thank you for looking at my listings
