Product description
A Heuchera varietal that works well in sun and partial shaded areas. This perennial plant exhibits an intricate palmately leaf or “fancy leaf” and almost resembles lettuce. The vibrant greens and yellows associated with this plant offer a unique contrast in the garden. The individual leaves also exhibit intricate vein patterns.
Compared to similar coloured relatives, it has a larger and rounder leaf than for example other “Lime” derivatives.
The white flowers arrive on thin spires that elevate them significantly above the rounded plant base. Although these flowers are gathered in an overall flower head that is rather small.
This plant does well in most soil types and prefers in general drier conditions, rather than moist soils. As such, they do really well in planters and tubs where they are allowed to show off their bright greens. Because of their drought tolerance, they also do well in more decorative rock gardens and other border areas.
Many of these types of plants are resistant against a variety of larger garden predators. And can do well as an ornamental, landscaping plant.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Heuchera plants thrive with a layer of mulch to retain moisture and keep the roots cool during hot weather.
How to Water
Heuchera prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering as they don't like soggy conditions. Water at the base to prevent leaf disease.
How to Plant
Plant Heuchera in well-drained soil. Choose a spot with partial to full shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in, and cover the roots with soil. Space plants 30-45cm apart for good air circulation.
