Plant Biography
Heuchera are a group of semi-evergreen herbaceous perennials from the woodlands in North America that have become extremely fashionable in recent years due to an almost chameleon-like ability to breed a range of foliage tints from red, through purple into brown, then orange and into yellow. The colour combinations now possible are seemingly endless! The cultivar ‘Marmalade’ has deeply ruffled, robust foliage that sports warm shades of pink, orange, tan and peach – pink on the reverse – with reddish-brown flowers borne May to June on wiry stems above the leaves.
Care & Size Guidance
The reliable and easy-care nature of the plant combined with the striking colour has made it extremely popular since first introduced.
An ideal plant for borders and underplanting larger trees, the Heuchera Marmalade grows best in moisture retaining, slightly acidic soils. The fibrous roots makes them suitable for rocky soils and shallow throughs where other plants might struggle.
In harsher winters, the plant may lose its foliage completely but it comes back from underground strong the next spring. Cut back hard in late autumn and mulch to provide a layer of protection. Remove tattered winter foliage in early spring before new leaves emerge.
Plants can be divided every 3-4 years to rejuvenate and encourage new growth.
