New foliage of bright red changes to deep-burgundy with heavily ruffled edges (like the melting lava of a volcano!) on this 12-18" mounder and is topped by white flowers late spring-summer; delightful in container/border. S/M PPAF

‘Melting Fire’ is one of the best curly-leaf red heuchera. Leaves begin as red and darken with age to maroon. Keeps its color even in summer sun. Sprays of tiny pink bell shaped flowers top the foliage in spring.
A stunning form of Heuchera! Puckered, folded & pleated leaves, from beet-root red to deep purple, to peach - which appear translucent in the sun. Fluffy white contrasting flowers are borne above the dense mounded foliage in Spring. To 12-18” tall & wide.
