Foamy
Bells
Heucherella
|
 |
Description:
Heucherella is a hybrid genus produced from a cross between Heuchera and
Tiarella. Heucherellas grow most vigorously and have the stongest
colors when grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade). They can
also be grown in full shade but their growth rate will be very slow.
These are very pretty planted in the shade garden with other shade lovers
such as Hosta, Astilbe and Coral Bells.

divided, green leaves in the shape of a kimono appear with maroon-purple
central markings and a crinkly texture. In summer, this foliage is replaced
by a new set of leaves that are larger and more round. Then they take on a
copper-rose color in the fall and winter. Wispy cream-colored flowers
are produced on 18 inch scapes beginning in late spring. There's never a
dull moment with this Heucherella! |

Helleborus 'Viking Ship'
Lenten Rose
zones 4-9
|
| Description:
'Viking Ship' produces two different sets of leaves. The spring foliage is
silvery-green and it provides the perfect backdrop for the 18 inch tall
spires of coral-pink flowers. Since the flowers are sterile, they keep on
blooming well into the season. By summer, the spring foliage is replaced by
larger, silvered, maple-like leaves. |
