Once abundant in the UK, the Cross-leaved Heath is now becoming increasingly rare, making each encounter with this beautiful heath erica all the more special. Appreciate its beauty alongside the Bell Heather (Erica cinerea) and Ling Heather (Calluna vulgaris) in their natural habitat, where they thrive among Sphagnum moss and create a symbiotic balance in the ecosystem.
