HemNorth said:I have some Heathers:
Heather - Erica carnea Nathalie. I have to do the background work to get a space for her in the Database.
A Winter blooming Heather that can start as early as November, be covered by snow, and re-emerge in March or April:
November 15th of 2015 :
and after two and a half months of being covered by snow, it keeps right on blooming. 
I haven't figured out yet whether it is Erica carnea Kramer's Red, Erica carnea Myretoun Red (bred by Kurt Kramer), or a child of this one, called Erica carnea 'Wintersonne' or 'Winter Sun', or even perhaps Erica x darleyensis 'Spring Surprise'. By 2017, it looked like this, in April
And like this in May. 
Will I ever unravel the mystery?
Another mystery is the Joe Pye Weed. Not sure which category it fits into. I'll have to put it into the Identity Forum. It might be Eutrochium purpureum?
I used to have six plants of Erica carnea Mediterranean Pink. It was termed "heath" rather than "heather." They bloomed faithfully every winter until an unusually cold winter killed all of them. I too loved them because they bloomed in winter!
The plant tag in your first image looked like a cemetery marker to me--so appropriate for my poor dead plants. I would love to try another winter-blooming cultivar, but one with better survival skills.
You can see images of the cultivar I had here;
Darley Dale Heath (Erica 'Mediterranean Pink')
