‘HONEY ROSE’ FOAMY BELLS

HEUCHERELLA ‘HONEY ROSE’

The variety ‘Honey Rose’ has the pinkest foliage of any heucherella, with toasty coral-pink leaves that add warm color and lovely texture thanks to purple veining. The foliage remains year-round in warm regions; it persists into winter farther north but then the plant dies back until spring. Masses of tiny white flowers appear along stalks that rise above the foliage from early summer to midsummer. The flower stalks top out at about a foot tall.

HABIT: A perennial that forms a mound of foliage 8 inches tall by 13 inches wide.

All heucherella plants are crosses between coral bells () and foamflower (), two North American natives. ‘Honey Rose’ was bred at Terra Nova Nurseries and released by Blooms of Bressingham.
