Description
Common name: Foamy Bells
I love brightly colored plants, especially those with gold or bright green foliage! The Vibrant lime green leaves of ‘Catching Fire’ are rounded, giving it a refined presence in the garden. In the centers of each leaves are very defined flame-shaped markings that flare from the center like cherry red fire. Cream flowers appear in early summer. This is a very polished, vigorous plant. For best foliage color and performance, plant in an area with filtered sun or afternoon shade.
‘Catching Fire’ is a H. villosa hybrid which means that it is naturally more heat and humidity tolerant and also has greater vigor than Heucherellas without such parentage. It forms a very dense mound of interesting foliage that is evergreen in most climates.
Heucherella is a hybrid genus produced from a cross between Heuchera and Tiarella. Heucherella’s are sterile hybrids, and so typically have longer bloom seasons than either of their parents.
