Only a particular cultivar can be patented (not copywrited). The plant
patent is only good for 17 years.

Most cultivars are hybrids and do not come true from seed. Seedlings from
your plants would not be covered by the patent but plants propagated
asexually from cuttings would be.

Yes it is enforceable. If you sold cuttings of the patented plant and you
were caught doing it, they certainly could sue you pants off as well as have
you and your balls heavily fined and/or taken away to jail!!!

I just bought a heather today, and noticed on the label the phrase "this
plant may not be propogated without permission"

Is this a copyright thing? Is it enforcable?

What if the flowers produce seeds? Will the supplier come around and sue
my
plant?
