Fancy Foliage A Heucherella is a cross between a Heuchera and a Tiarella - the clues are in the leaf shape or flower. Use them in a container, either on their own, or mixed with other Heucheras, Tiarellas and foliage plants to show off their magnificent trailing foliage. When finished they can be planted into the bed or border outside.

Heucherella ‘Alabama Sunrise’ (P)

Heucherella ‘Berry Fizz’ (P)

The deeply cut foliage in spring to mid summer is gold with red veins. In late summer, the leaves turn green with red veins. In autumn, the older foliage turns amber-pink. Small white flowers.

Heucherella ‘Kimono’ (P)

The foliage could certainly be mistaken for Tiarella being so narrow and painted in spring, becoming more palmate in summer. But the best aspect of this variety is its metallic-rose flowers.

Heucherella ‘Sunrise Falls’ (P)

A vigorous, trailing Heucherella with large, yellow, maple-shaped leaves and red veins.

The maple-shaped leaves are deep purple with a glossy bronze sheen and erratically sprinkled with beads of light pink.

Heucherella ‘Redstone Falls’ (P)

Heucherella ‘Solar Eclipse’ (P)

A fabulous, trailing Heucherella sporting broad coppery leaves, with a deep red centre. The leaves change to reds and browns in the autumn and winter.

Heucherella ‘Sweet Tea’ (P)

Leaves with huge cinnamon stars are surrounded by the loveliest intense orange tea coloured borders. The big, palmate cut leaves darken in the summer and lighten up again in the autumn.

Heucherella ‘Brass Lantern’ (P)

Fabulous brassy-gold and red maple shaped leaves in spring, turning olive and brown in winter with white frothy flowers in late spring.

Heucherella ‘Stoplight’ (P)

Leaves with a red-brown centre edged with lime green really are reminiscent of a ‘ring of light’.

Golden yellow, maple leaf shape foliage with excellent markings emerging as bright red when young, darkening to burgundy-chocolate brown as the leaves mature.

Heucherella ‘Tapestry’ (P)

Heucherella ‘Yellowstone Falls’ (P)

Stunning multi-coloured and veiled foliage with free flowering stems of warm pink flowers. The dark-centred leaves are coloured blue green in spring and summer & green with dark centres from autumn.

This has beautiful lobed Pear Green coloured leaves with deep crimson markings and stems that can trail up to 90cm. It’s great for brightening dark corners.
