Purple moorland plant
Heather is a low-growing shrub with small purple, pink, or white flowers, native to moorlands and heaths of Europe.
It thrives in poor, acidic soil and covers vast stretches of Scottish and English highlands: The hillside was purple with heather.
The grayish-purple color of heather flowers is also called heather. (Capitalized Heather is a given name.)
