    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A bigger bolder Heuchera with huge cinnamon-peach leaves and a lush habit. Creamy white flowers erupt in late summer. Foliage color changes from cinnamon peach to burnished copper to amber as the temperatures chill. Bred to do well in Southern humidity. Foliage stays around 10" tall and 15" wide. Great year all season container plant too!

    With huge cinnamon-peach leaves and a lush habit, this plant makes a bold foliage statement like a Hosta (but evergreen). Creamy white flowers erupt in late summer. Foliage color changes from cinnamon peach to burnished copper to amber. Bred to do well in Southern humidity, the Midwest, the Northeast or in the Northwest.
