Description:
Heucherella is a hybrid genus produced from a cross between Heuchera and
Tiarella. Heucherellas grow most vigorously and have the stongest
colors when grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade). They can
also be grown in full shade but their growth rate will be very slow.
These are very pretty planted in the shade garden with other shade lovers
such as Hosta, Astilbe and Coral Bells.
Common Name:
Foamy Bells
Botanical Name:
Heucherella (Heuchera x
Tiarella)
Type:
Perennial
Soil
Preference:
Well-drained soil with a
neutral pH. Amend the soil with good organic matter before planting.
If the plant looks tattered by early spring,
shear off any damaged leaves to make room for the vibrant new foliage which
will fill in quickly. Propagate by division in either spring or fall.
Fertilize with Plant-tone or a water soluble fertilizer during the growing
season.

larger, silvered, maple-like leaves.
