Heuchera ‘Melting Fire’


Fancy-leaf Coral Bells

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.266.170


This Coral Bells selection sports handsome colourful foliage. It forms a low mound of ruffled bronzy-brown leaves, the new leaves tinted red when they first appear. Taller stems produce sprays of small white flowers in late spring. Excellent for edging in sun to part shade. Remove any damaged leaves in spring, otherwise no pruning is required. Evergreen. May need protection from afternoon sun in regions with hot and humid summers. If plants become leggy or woody at the base, just lift them in early autumn or spring and replant with the crowns placed lower down in the soil. The first ruffled-edge strain to be offered from seed.
