HEUCHERELLA is a horticulturally-derived group of bigeneric hybrids between Heuchera, coralbells, and Tiarella, foamflower. Heucherella combines the characters of both parental types to make pleasing intermediate forms. Heucherellas vary greatly in vigor and character. Unfortunately many of the varieties that have been introduced in recent years grow well under nursery production conditions but quickly fade away under garden conditions that involve stress (and what don’t?). The pigment-deficient yellow leaved varieties seem especially prone to this problem. This is why we list only a couple of forms that have proved enduring. Heucherella have a long period of bloom in mid spring and are best grown in well drained soil in light shade. Heucherella ‘Bridget Bloom’ has been available for many years but is not very interesting compared to the newer hybrids. Read more about heucherella on our Featured Plants pages.
