The Story

Plant Bio

Heuchera are North American native perennials that have been hybridized extensively to create a stunning palette of foliage colors. They form tidy mounds and are adaptable to a range of conditions, provided they have good drainage. 'Electric Lime' is known for its large, vibrant lime-green to chartreuse leaves that make a bold statement in the shade. In cooler weather, red veins become prominent, adding another layer of interest to its electrifying color.

Uses & Benefits:

'Electric Lime' is a visual standout, providing a jolt of brilliant color that illuminates shady areas of the garden. Its large leaves and bold presence make it an excellent focal point or a dramatic mass planting.

This cultivar is a workhorse for adding season-long color to areas where flowers might struggle. It's perfect for containers, window boxes, and as an underplanting for larger shrubs and trees, requiring minimal maintenance once established.

The tall, airy stems of small white flowers are a favorite of hummingbirds. They also attract various small pollinators, adding to the garden's ecosystem despite being primarily a foliage plant.
