To keep this plant over winter it must be kept in a frost free area.

Customers who bought this item also bought the following:

Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' (P) £49.50 Leaves with huge cinnamon stars are surrounded by the loveliest intense orange tea coloured borders. The big, palmate cut leaves darken in the summer and lighten up again in the autumn. Its H. villosa origins give it a big bold habit and summer heat tolerance.	Gaura 'Lillipop Pink' (P) £23.00 An improvement on previous pink forms with more flowers which hold themselves even better through the summer months on purple-green foliage.
Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' £22.00 A rich, bright red semi-double flower on tall deep bronze foliage. An old variety, but with freedom from virus, one of the best.	Heuchera 'Crème Brûlée' (P) £43.00 A superior marmalade-orange Heuchera, far stronger than early forms. Beautiful striking foliage in spring will please year after year.
Heuchera 'Key Lime Pie' (P) £43.00 Wonderful lime-green foliage which contrasts beautifully against dark leaved Heuchera.
