Andromeda polifolia ssp. pumila

The homeland of Andromeda polifolia ssp. pumila is Europe, Siberia, the Far East, North. America.

 

In the northern taiga subzone, a common and sometimes abundant species of moss bogs and damp larch forests, sometimes rises into the subnival belt of mountains; here, transitional forms to the typical subspecies are also common. In the Putorana mountains, it lives in the highlands. On mossy, especially sphagnum, rollers forms extensive clones. In rock gardens, podbel (andromeda) is planted, as a rule, in groups together with heather plants.

 

An original look for heather gardens, as it is very decorative not only during flowering, but also during the entire growing season, it allows you to create a garden of continuous flowering (blooms after erica).
