Heuchera 'Sweet Tart' (PBR) (Little Cutie Series)

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

• Position: partial shade
• Soil: fertile, moist or well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: June
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  The lime green foliage of this compact heuchera creates a stunning carpet of colour when planted en-masse in a partially shaded spot. You could also use it to edge a border or a pathway, or add some oomph to a patio pot or window box. The pink flowers, which appear in early summer and are held in open sprays on upright stems, add even more colour and interest.
  
  
• 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 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the crown of the plant in spring.
