Heuchera ‘Melting Fire’ features nicely lobed and heavily ruffled leaves which emerge bright red, and turn deep maroon as they age.
In late spring to early summer, panicles of small, bell-shaped, creamy-white flowers bloom on dark red stems rising up to 45 cm, above the semi-evergreen foliage. A fabulous choice for adding a touch of colour in the perennial border, along paths or in containers.
This clump-forming perennial forms basal mounds, up to 25 cm tall with a spread of 20-30 cm.
This sturdy performer is not only easy to grow, but also requires little maintenance and is pest and disease free!
Performs best in part shade or full shade in rich, humusy, medium moisture, well-drained soils. If grown in full sun, make sure the soil remains consistently moist or the foliage might decline.
It is attractive to butterflies and often ignored by buck.
A spectacular addition to beds, borders, woodland gardens or in containers. Fabulous when planted in groups
Divide clumps in spring every 3-4 years.
Remove stems of faded flowers to promote additional blooms. If applicable apply winter mulch after the ground freezes to help prevent root heaving.
