Ginger Peach Heuchera Plant

The Ginger Peach Heuchera Plant is one of the fastest growing Coral Bells, but is also one of the slowest to flower, not producing its miniature ivory blossoms until its second year. But no one grows Alumroot for the flowers anyway. It's the foliage that everyone craves and this variety has it in spades! Known to attract hummingbirds, the leaves are delightfully mussed, crimped and crinkled which allows the rosy undersides of the leaves to peek through the remarkable shades of apricot, burnt sienna, bronze, burnt umber, reddish-orange and gold that grace the tops of this showy specimen. Wow!

Our Heuchera Plants are carefully cultivated without harmful pesticides, making them a safe and striking addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!
