Add a touch of whimsical wonder to your landscape with Heucherella. Bursting with colorful foliage and sprightly blooms, this plant is the accent you are looking for and is easy to incorporate into any space. Here’s why Heucherella is the perfect addition to your garden:

Appearance: The main draw of Heucherella is its playful foliage. Common colors include chartreuse green, burnt orange, and shades of deep purple. They often have intricate leaf patterns and shapes as well. Small blooms appear in the spring and summer.

Size: Heucherella is a clumping perennial that stays low and compact, making it ideal for smaller landscapes. You can reliably expect a height of 12-18 inches and a similar spread of 12-18 inches. Their small size makes them ideal for mass plantings or as a filler in mixed landscapes.

Blooming Season: Sprays of colorful flowers emerge in the spring and summer, typically in displays of either pink or white. These small, star-shaped blooms peak up from between the foliage and attract butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden space. 

Sun and Soil Requirements: Heucherella prefers full shade to partial shade. An area with morning sun is also acceptable. Organically rich, well-drained soil is essential for these plants to thrive. 

Landscape Use: Heucherella provides colorful interest and texture to any landscape. Their compact size is ideal for small group plantings, borders, and mixed landscape beds. They make great container plants to embellish shaded areas on your porch or patio.
