Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is one of the first, if not THE first named Heucheras. Bred in the 1930's by world famous plantsman Alan Bloom of Bressingham Gardens in the UK, this gem not only has the beautifully-marbled foliage similar to the newer hybrids, but the flowers, which on most of the newer hybrids kinda suck, are a deep shade of reddish pink and are useful as a cut flower.
