Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' remains vibrant throughout the year and becomes even more beautiful and robust during the summer months when the air is moist and humid. Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' is very resilient to the heat of the South and actually feeds off of the heat, making it thicker and more brilliant.

These blooms are a beautiful accent to the plant and can be enjoyed as-is or snipped for an indoor bouquet.
