Wonderful changing foliage to brighten any border.
"Each season brings a new look! Early foliage is golden green with deep red veining. Leaves of Alabama Sunrise are deeply incised and large. Late summer leaves are deeper green with red veins, and finally, fall foliage turns to glowing orange-pink. The H. villosa parentage makes this a vigorous, heat and drought tolerant steamy-summer-loving selection. White flowering."

Heucherella General Information

"Heucherella are an interesting cross of Heuchera and Tiarella. Forms an expanding mound flowering in late spring into early summer with strong leaf colors and great flowers. Versatile - excelling in the north, as well as the heat and humidity of the South. If grown in full sun, will need more moisture." Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Heucherella Plant Care

"Remove old stems of faded flowers for additional bloom and to tidy up so that the attractive foliage can be appreciated. Can be divided every 3-4 years in early spring. Remove and discard the old woody parts of the crown. In cold climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving."

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
