A cross between heuchera and tiarella, heucheralla combines the brilliant foliage colour of the former, with the leaf shapes and patterns of the latter. 'Solar Eclipse' is a fine example; its scalloped rich burgundy leaves becoming edged with a startling bright lime green as they mature. From late spring to midsummer tall, slender stems bear loose sprays of creamy white flowers. These are a favourite among bees, and last for several weeks as cut flowers.Heucherellas are neat, compact, well-behaved plants ideal for plugging gaps in the garden and providing attractive, semi-evergreen groundcover. They often come into their own during the cooler months when the retreat of herbaceous perennials puts their colourful display centre stage. We love seeing 'Solar Eclipse' add colour and drama to a woodland border, alongside other shade-loving delights such as brunnera, hosta, cyclamen, and ferns such as athyrium and polystichum. For best results grow 'Solar Eclipse' in fertile, moist, well-draining, neutral to acid soil, in partial shade. It prefers a sheltered spot and is hardy to between -15 C and -20 C. H: 25cm S: 40cm.
