Heucherella ‘Gunsmoke’
Foamy Bells |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.268.270
A hybrid between Coral Bells and Foam Flower, combining the best traits of both into one plant. This selection forms a low mound of maple-shaped leaves with purple-red tones on new growth, maturing to silver with dark veins. Vigorous grower that lends a dramatic effect to sun or shade borders as well as in containers. Sprays of small white bell flowers appear in early summer. Evergreen in mild winter regions. Foliage should be left alone in the fall, but plants may be tidied up in spring by removing any brown or tired-looking leaves. A Terra Nova Nurseries of Oregon introduction. USPP#22395: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
