Heuchera 'Marmalade' (PBR)
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, moist or well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: June
- Hardiness: fully hardy
A terrific heuchera that's perfect for adding colour to the garden. In late spring, sprays of brownish flowers appear but this heuchera is really grown for its exciting foliage. It has rich, shiny, undulating leaves in a range of colours from amber to peachy bronze with hot pink undersides. The evergreen foliage is perfect edging a border, along a path or even in pots on the patio. - Garden care: Heucheras do not like dry soil. Remove tatty foliage in autumn. Lift and divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn and replant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7 cm (2-3 in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the crown of the plant in spring.
