Heucherella Redstone Falls

The Heucherella 'Redstone Falls' is a novelty with coppery red palmate leaves that has the particularity of producing, like strawberries, runners; it spreads out to form large ground cover mats.

A perennial with remarkable evergreen foliage that changes colour throughout the seasons, Heucherella Redstone Falls produces coppery red palmate leaves, veined with a darker red. They take on a copper, russet brown to cinnamon hue in autumn.

This heucherella, resulting from the cross-breeding between Heuchera and Tiarella, provides an airy and early flowering composed of long spikes of cream white in May, reaching a height of 50cm (20in). This plant has excellent hardiness, and is vigorous. In early summer, it produces lateral stems, called runners, measuring 25-30cm (10-12in) in length, which root into the soil and allow it to spread.

The runners also have a significant ornamental aspect as they gracefully trail, when the plant is installed at the edge of a wall or hanging in a suspension.

Easy to grow, this plant requires a rich and moist soil, likes partly shaded and bright areas, but is sensitive to the sun during the hottest hours.
