Heuchera Paprika

Heuchera 'Paprika' is a new variety of Heuchera with foliage that changes from flaming orange-red to paprika veined with red in autumn. Its summer flowering is adorned with white bells.

Hardy to -15 °C (5 °F), this rhizomatous perennial grows in a dense, spreading, and dense clump. Its round and lobed leaves are carried by long petioles and distinctly veined: orange-red then paprika veined with red in autumn. Very fine stems, 35 cm (14 in) in height, bear numerous small white flowers in the shape of bells in a very delicate ensemble.

Heuchera 'Paprika' is easy to grow and thrives in any humus-bearing and moist soil, in a partly shady or lightly sunny position. To prevent the roots from lifting, mulch every year. Heuchera was very present in the gardens of our forebears but is making a comeback with new varieties in flamboyant colours!

Heuchera 'Paprika' will be appealing in large beds, combined with grasses or perennials with linear or variegated foliage, but also as a ground cover at the base of trees with ferns.

Tip: Create beautiful autumn pots with carex, cyclamen, and heathers.
