‘Mickkle-Dickkle’
Flowers lavender; IX-XIl; foliage “scruffy with knots of tightly packed foliage, disorganised, lumpy and obviously a dwarf.” Richard Ide [Dick] wrote: “A wildling we rescued high on one of Cornish hills … We carried him
home and planted him by the edge of the crazy path among our self-sown [Calluna]. He responded by throwing out some slender new growth.We think he is quite a character, and have potted him up and will bring him in for the winter. Will take cuttings next year.” This plant was propagated by John Hall in 2012.
