Heucherella alba ‘Bridget Bloom’
Foamy Bells |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.268.030
A hybrid between Coral Bells and Foam Flower, combining the best traits of both into one plant. This older selection forms a low mound of bright green leaves, bearing upright sprays of delicate shell-pink flowers for weeks on end. Nice choice for the woodland garden, or for edging in a shady perennial border or rock garden. Evergreen in mild winter regions. Foliage should not be trimmed back in the fall, but plants may be tidied up in spring by removing any brown or tired-looking leaves. Selected by Alan Bloom at Bressingham Gardens, UK and the first commercially available Heucherella selection of note.
