Heucherella ‘Silver Streak’
Foamy Bells |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.268.190
A hybrid between Coral Bells and Foam Flower, combining the best traits of both into one plant. This recent selection forms a low mound of lobed leaves, silvery-metallic in colour, with dark purple veins. Sprays of creamy-white flowers appear in late spring and again in fall. 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 tired-looking leaves. Registered with COPF: royalty required for propagation.
