A brilliant foliage plant, the Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' is a perfect addition to your shade garden. Its scalloped leaves and cinnamon and orange color is sure to complement your yard's other hues and provide your outdoor area with a truly unique appearance.
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.
Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' loves shade and boasts cream colored blooms during the late spring, attracting an abundance of butterflies. These blooms are a beautiful accent to the plant and can be enjoyed as-is or snipped for an indoor bouquet. In warmer climates, Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' is an evergreen that boasts its gorgeous hues through the winter. In more northern climes, it dies temporarily during the coldest months only to come back even stronger the following spring.
This plant makes for a great groundcover and is rarely the victim of pests or disease. It's also ideal for borders and containers as well. This plant is appropriate for zones 4-9 and grows to around 20 inches in height and 28 inches in width.
