I have bought three small pote of the dwarf kind --- around 25 cm tall, and I'm not sure where to plant it. In garden images in the internet they seem to be planted in heather gardens, huge beautiful masses of heather... but I don't have a space for that. And with the other tall perennials in my garden, they will just be invisible on a flower bed border, they are so small...
So, any ideas whete to plant them ? Maybe pictures of heather in your garden ?

Typically they are in a neat bed, and after looking at your cottage garden pics, I can see that they would disappear. I'm wondering if there is a front garden they might work in? I have mine along the driveway in a bed with a dwarf evergreen shrub.

Thanks for looking at my garden pics. I don't have a front garden

Actually, they aren't perennials either--they're evergreens. Shrubs, I suppose!

How about devoting a corner of a bed to your heathers and a dwarf conifer? Conifers are put in perennial beds here in the Pacific Northwest and they look great!
