}} Cassiope is a genus of 9-12 small shrubby species in the family Ericaceae. It is the sole genus in the subfamily Cassiopoideae. They are native to the Arctic and north temperate montane regions. The genus is named after Cassiopeia of Greek mythology. Common names, shared with several other similar related genera, include heather and heath. They have scale-like leaves lying against the stems, and produce solitary bell-shaped flowers in late spring. Though hardy, flowers can be damaged by late frosts. They are cultivated in gardens, suitable sites being rock gardens, peat banks or glades in woodland areas.[1] The hybrid cultivars 'Randle Cook'[2] and ‘Muirhead’[3] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (confirmed 2017).[4] References1. ^{{cite book|title=RHS A-Z encyclopedia of garden plants|year=2008|publisher=Dorling Kindersley|location=United Kingdom|isbn=1405332964|pages=1136}} [5]2. ^{{cite web| title=RHS Plant Selector - Cassiope 'Randle Cook'| url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=339| accessdate=26 June 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/97470/i-Cassiope-i-Muirhead/Details| title = RHS Plantfinder - Cassiope ‘Muirhead’| publisher = Royal Horticultural Society | accessdate=21 January 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web | url= https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/pdfs/agm-lists/agm-ornamentals.pdf| title = AGM Plants - Ornamental| page = 16| date = July 2017| publisher = Royal Horticultural Society| accessdate = 24 January 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite journal|last1=Don|first1=David|title=An Attempt at a New Arrangement of the Ericaceæ|journal=The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal|date=1834|volume=17|pages=157–158|url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/2522806}} }} External links{{Wikispecies}}
