Yellow-leaved form of this small, mounding perennial, a cross between the very useful heuchera and the shade loving tiarella, this with lobed leaves of yellow to lime green splashed with red. Accepts more sun than many yellow-leaved plants; partial shade as well, though greener. Reaches only 12" tall or so in clumps to 16" wide. The white, spring flowers are small, on stems to 20" tall. Best with some summer moisture especially in bright light. Frost hardy to USDA zone 4.

Deep red splattered leaves of yellow gold to lime green and lobed form a spreading mound of color in sun or part shade. This Heucherella takes higher light levels than our other yellow foliage forms. This is the one Heucherella that stunned us with its sun tolerance. It actually thrived in 100+ degree temps for weeks! When grown in full shade it stays lime green with splatters of deep red.
