plant growing on the hill above the sec reservoir czech

Heather (Calluna vulgaris) is a low-growing, woody shrub with small, scale-like leaves and clusters of tiny purple-pink flowers that bloom from late summer to autumn. On the hill above the Se? Reservoir in the Czech Republic, heather forms dense, colorful patches that thrive on well-drained, acidic soils. This hardy plant is adapted to open, sunny slopes and contributes to the scenic beauty of the landscape, providing habitat and nectar for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its presence also stabilizes the soil on the hillside, helping prevent erosion along the steep slopes overlooking the reservoir.
