Why Olena Loves Heather Gemmo

Heather is one of those extracts I deeply admire for its ability to be both subtle and profound in its action. And, as a bonus, I can’t help but smile when I stumble upon a vast expanse of blooming heather while hiking—it’s simply breathtaking.

The Heather Shrub

Heather is a hardy, low-growing evergreen perennial shrub that reaches up to 3 feet (1 meter) in height. Widely found across Europe and Asia Minor, it thrives on acidic soils in sunny, open spaces.

This shrub often appears as a marker of forest ecosystems in their final decay stage, with its roots forming a dense network that stabilizes decomposed humus. Heather belongs to the same botanical family as blueberries, known for its resilience and strong regenerative abilities. Remarkably, it can survive fires, quickly regenerating to provide nourishment for grouse and livestock.
