Moderate-growing, clumping evergreen perennial forming a tufted mound to 10-16” tall and wide. More cold tolerant than many Heuchera, this vigorous, visually splendid variety is prized for its year-round change of color with its peachy-orange foliage coloration intensifying as the weather cools in fall. Sprays of pale-pink flowers on reddish-colored stems rise above the foliage in early-summer attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Great as a low-growing border, as a filler between shrubs, or in mixed flower beds or containers. Prefers regular watering in a well-drained soil, and a partial sun to partial shade exposure. Requires protection from hot afternoon sun in warmer climates. Deer resistant.
USDA Zone: 3A-9B
