Plant Patent #17,195.Add some red-hot color to the shade garden with this remarkable new Heuchera! In spring its large, rounded and gently lobed leaves emerge a blinding orange-red, only to mellow to rich tones of peachy-plum for autumn. Topped with clusters of gleaming white blooms in spring, it is a three-season marvel that needs little maintenance and always looks its best!
The show is most spectacular in spring, when the new leaves unfurl a brilliant persimmon-red. Larger and more distinctive even than the foliage of such impressive recent Heucheras as Marmalade, 'Peach Flambe's leaves simply radiate hot color for weeks and weeks! What a way to wake up the shade garden after its winter rest!
Just 8 inches high, 'Peach Flambe' is topped in spring by tall, slender bloomstalks 16 inches high and sporting distinctive white bell-shaped blooms. The flowers really stand out against the bright leaves, and last for several weeks.
But spring is only one of 'Peach Flambe's seasons of beauty. The leaves gradually turn a peachy shade, then acquire deep plum tones for autumn. A striking sight!
'Peach Flambe' spreads 14 inches wide and makes a fine groundcover, edging, or front-of-the-border standout. It is easy to grow, very low maintenance, and tolerant of stresses from heat and humidity to poor soil and even drought. You will find it one of the most rewarding plants in the garden! Zones 4-7.
