Heuchera are grown predominantly for their leaf colour but produce slender stems of flowers in the summer that are attractive to butterflies. This easy to grow perennial is tolerant of many different growing conditions including full sun, shade, drought and seaside locations. Grow in any fertile, well drained soil. Evergreen in mild winters but tidy damaged leaves in the spring and divide clumps every 3-4 years to encourage vibrant young growth. Good resistance to damage by deer and rabbits. Be careful not to bury the crowns when planting.
An excellent lime-coloured Heuchera with silky, deeply lobed and ruffled glowing, lime-green leaves shading to chartreuse green. This variety thrives in shady places, but unlike other lime-green Heucheras it will tolerate morning sun, but needs some shade by mid-day. Evergreen in warm areas but in cold areas it will die back in the winter, putting through fresh new growth in the spring. Fast, vigorous and mound forming, this makes an excellent ground cover plant which is particularly useful to brighten up shady areas. Any damaged foliage should be trimmed off in the spring. In May and June it will produce dainty bell shaped flowers on erect stems which fade to tan-brown. It will thrive in any fertile, well drained soil in full sun, part or full shade. As with all Heucheras, be careful not to bury the crowns when planting. Tolerant of full sun, but better planted in partial shade in any fertile, well drained soil. Height 10ins (25cm) Spread 25ins (63cm) Flower Height 15ins (38cms)
