Comment |
Erect Form. Pruning Group 14. "A fleshy-leaved perennial with plum-purple foliage and tightly-packed cauliflower-like heads. The pink flowers appear in late summer and turn to red as the season moves into autumn. The blooms are followed by eye-catching deep maroon seedheads extending its season of interest into late autumn and beyond." from Toby Buckland. "A selection from the Netherlands, this produces a low mound of succulent blue-grey leaves. Clusters of deep cherry-red flowers appear towards late summer, lasting into the autumn before changing into brown seed heads for winter. This is one of the darkest forms yet to be developed, the closest to a true red. Promises to be a first-rate plant for edging sunny borders, in the rock garden or in containers. In very rich soil with lots of moisture this may be inclined to get floppy. Pinch or prune plants back by half in June if this occurs. Trim back to the ground in early spring. " from Heritage Perennials. "Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. For a neat appearance, remove old foliage before new leaves emerge. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring. " from Monrovia. Available from Toby Buckland , Plantagogo and Bluebell Cottage Gardens in the UK with Monrovia in America . Plantagogo - "Jubilee Cottage Nursery was established in 1990 so it will be 23 years this year!! We started attending flower shows in 2000 to promote our new website www.plantagogo.com. We have been collecting Heuchera, Heuchera and Tiarella for a number of years now purely as a hobby to begin with. Our 3 National Collections are available to view by appointment only, and on the 4 open days we hold each year. " |
