- Planting Advice for Heathers: Heathers prefer full sun and well-drained, acidic soil conditions.Heathers can be planted anytime ground conditions are not frozen or waterlogged, and make perfect candidates for containers as long as they are kept moist and not allowed to dry out.Before planting, water these established, nursery potted plants well.Dig a hole a little deeper and three times the width of the nursery pot.If your soil is heavy, open it up by adding horticultural grit.Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.
