Best Flowering Cherry

If you would like to push the taxonomic boundaries of the plant world, try some intergeneric hybrid x Heucherella Cultivars. From their Heuchera parents they get a wide variation in color and variegation. From their Tiarella parents they get interesting leaf shapes, a running habit, and more deep shade tolerance.

x Heucherella 'Alabama Sunrise' PP 19,611: x Heucherella 'Alabama Sunrise' is the first foamy bells (Heuchera x Tiarella) with Heuchera villosa parentage, giving it a huge boost in humid summer climates. The 1' tall by 20" wide clumps are composed of maple-shaped leaves highlighted by dramatic red central veins. As the plant awakens from the winter, it bursts forward with brilliant golden foliage, also highlighted with dramatic red veining. As the weather warms, the new leaves emerge chartreuse and fade to green, surrounded by a band of silver, and highlighted by red veins. The clumps are topped with 2' tall stalks of small white flowers in early June (NC). (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-8, Ht. 12")

x Heucherella alba 'Pink Frost': We are excited to offer these new hybrids between Heuchera and Tiarella, from Charles and Martha Oliver. x Heucherella 'Pink Frost' has apple green foliage that is overlain with silver between the veins.

(Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-9, Ht. 12")

x Heucherella alba 'White Blush': Here is another new bi-generic hybrid between Heuchera and Tiarella from the Oliver's.

x Heucherella 'Burnished Bronze' PP 12159 PVR: This is a dramatic change in the appearance of the bi-generic hybrid Heucherella (Heuchera x Tiarella). x Heucherella 'Burnished Bronze' has large lacy leaves of dark chocolate bronze. The 18" stalks of tiny beige flowers top the clump in midspring... great when used in mass in the woodland garden! (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-8a, Ht. 12")

x Heucherella 'Crimson Clouds': This vigorous Heims hybrid is very fuzzy...but then, so is Heims. It is known, however, for its dazzling spikes of crimson flowers in late spring. The foliage is green with very light silver veining. A mass of these in flower in the woodland garden is an unbelievable sight! (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-8, Ht. 18")

x Heucherella 'Dayglow Pink' PP 12164 PVR: This new foamy bells hybrid is a breakthrough combining the fabulous color of Heuchera sanguinea (pink) with the form and flowering of Tiarella.

(Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-8, Ht. 12")

x Heucherella 'Kimono' PP 12,154 PVR: When I visited the Terra Nova breeding facility, seeing this plant was the highlight of my trip.

x Heucherella 'Silver Streak': This new hybrid from Dan Heims is truly one of the most distinctive members of this group of foamy bells. In shape, the leaves resemble a very cutleaf Tiarella...in color, a Heuchera. The leaves are light lavender and are highlighted by deep maroon veins. In late April through June, the clumps are topped with tiny sprays of pink flowers held 6" above the foliage...great for a mass planting in the woodland garden. (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-9, Ht. 12")

x Heucherella 'Snow White': From the garden of the Olivers, comes the first pure white-flowered Heucherella. The compact mound of Heuchera like green leaves with a nice silver overlay between the veins, gives rise to sprays of tiny white flowers. (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 5-9, Ht. 18")

x Heucherella 'Stoplight' PP 16,835: You won't have folks running past this stoplight without coming to a complete halt. x Heucherella 'Stoplight' is similar to x Heucherella 'Sunspot' but is slightly more vigorous and has a larger patch of red in the center of the bright yellow leaf.

(Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-8a, Ht. 6")

x Heucherella 'Sunspot' PP 14,825, PVR: Unreal! The long-awaited cross between coral bells and a lightning bug is finally here...just kidding. This amazing Terra Nova introduction makes an 18" wide clump of golden foliage highlighted by a heart-stopping central pattern of red veins. In late spring, the brilliant golden clump is topped with red stems supporting the fluorescent pink flower spikes. You have to see this to believe it! A well-drained soil is important for success with all of the foamy bells. (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 5-8a, Ht. 8")

x Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' PPAF: Coppery-orange maple-shaped leaves with a burgundy center.

x Heucherella 'Tapestry' PPAF: We have been very pleased with this new foamy bells from the Terra Nova breeding program. The deeply-lobed tricolor leaves are olive green toward the edge, silver in the center, and dark purple along the veins which radiate out into the silver portion. As the weather cools in fall and early spring, the purple veins intensify and expand to cover more of the leaf surface. The leaves compose the 7" tall by 16" wide clump, topped with 12" stalks of tiny, light pink flowers in early June (NC). (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 4-8, Ht. 12")

x Heucherella 'Viking Ship' PP 12029 EU 9997: This new manmade bigeneric hybrid (Heuchera x Tiarella) from Terra Nova, is one of the best of the lot so far. The silvery leaves are highlighted by a network of olive-green veins. In cool weather the leaves act really bizarre as the midsection of the leaf disappears...leaving the leaf tip connected to the base by a sturdy thread (you've got to see this!) The 1' wide clump is topped in midspring with stunning flower stalks of tiny, medium-pink five-petaled flowers. In between each of the petals is a smaller pale-pink additional petal giving the plant a unique two-toned appearance. Average garden soil and good drainage are keys to success. (Part Sun to Light Shade, Zone 5-9, Ht. 18")

x Heucherella of any color are a lovely addition to the shade garden.
