    So, where did you get your white heather plant?

    The local nursery had a few.....most I see are the purplish or "candy cane" (go from white-to pink-to purple) variety.
    Here's a SW Scottish seller of heather: http://www.gallowayheathers.com/. I don't know if it can be imported, but if you can't locate white heather perhaps they can help?

    There used to be a company located in the Highlands, that did sell sprays of fresh white heather and also dried white heather. They were a fantastic compnay, yet their website is no longer available and I am unsure if they are still in business. It wasn't too long ago that I ordered sprays of white heather from them. Wish they were still around. Fast shipping and the heather came ready to go, with green floral tape and everything!
