A real "smoothie" colour all year round - rose pink, through raspberry to blackberry shades. Big, bold habit. A blend of heat loving H. villosa and cold tolerance of H. americana. | A superior marmalade-orange Heuchera, far stronger than early forms. Beautiful striking foliage in spring will please year after year. |
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. | Marbled leaves with a soft velvety texture and large, cupped, blue flowers with white centres and maroon veins in late summer. |
Glowing wine red foliage turns a little tanned in the winter. Bicoloured pink and white flowers on dark red stems continue through spring, summer, and autumn like H. 'Paris'. |
