Flower arranging
Heathers are described as acting as "Haltgeber" or as "Umrahmung" in a bouquet. Something like "providing balance"? I look forward to your ideas as always. Many thanks in advance

For Umrahmung maybe border/edging

These flowers should visually support all other flowers present in a composition.

As highlighters( to contrast)
In other words, they are not used for any aesthetic reason, but rather to highlight(contrast) with the main flowers, and to frame/delineate them.
There is a picture with the title "Haltgeber" which should make it clearer to you:

Framing/delineation is 'Umrahmung'.

The point of 'Umrahmung' is to frame/delineate by using the heathers as an outer border.

fillers/filler flowers
Heather
Heather filler flowers. A traditional filler adding height and volume to arrangements and wedding centerpieces.
http://nova-floral.com/Wedding.aspx
Filler Material
Filler Flowers
Filler flowers generally have a complex branched system of stems and flowers (see Figure 1 1-19). They should be smaller in size, and much smaller in scale, to the other flowers next to them in the arrangement. They are used to fill in empty spaces, add accent, and complete a design. Filler flowers are not always needed; but when they are incorporated into an arrangement, they should be placed within the framework of a design below or behind other flower types. These flowers should visually support all other flowers present in a composition. It is important not to crowd or detract from the main flowers in a design by using too much filler, which also unnecessarily increases the cost of a bouquet (see Figure 11-20).
Filler flowers are generally the last flower type placed in a bouquet. Often, using a filler flower will change the entire design because of the new color or texture that is added. Baby's breath, for example, generally adds an airy, delicate appearance, whereas bright yellow button mums may add a bold and lively look. Other examples of filler flowers include statice, bouvardia, heather, Queen Anne's lace, aster, and waxflower.
