Heucherella Capture the Flag - Foamy Bells

Chartreuse and rust red leaves make sure this heucherella stands out in the garden without overwhelming you in color. In a shade garden, this semi-evergreen perennial blends well with the purples, oranges and deep greens that are often available. In late spring clusters of white flowers appear on tall wispy stems. Proven winners Capture the Flag will put on new foliage early in each growing season and will hold it's leaves and color in areas that don't get too much snow.

Like Heuchera, Heucherella is a great selection for container planting and adding color in garden beds or walkways. In summer tall stems of flowers, that are excellent for cuttings, shoot up from the plant to suspend an array of bell shaded flowers. 

Heucherella is a hybrid of the popular North American Heuchera (coral bells) and North American Tiarella (foam flower) combining many of the outstanding characteristics such as deeply lobed leaves, a multitude of colors, and larger size. Heucherella forms a very dense mound of interesting foliage that is evergreen in most climates.

Heucherella Capture the Flag - Foamy Bells

Heucherella prefer soil that is well-drained and rich in organic matter. They also require regular moisture, so afternoon shade and mulch will help them thrive. Plant in spring or early summer and like all new plantings water immediately and deeply. Plants in a sunny site, or that are growing during a period of drought will require supplemental moisture so ensure that you water them frequently slowly and deeply when required. Divide plants as needed every three or four years in spring.
