Heucherella ‘Tapestry’ — Foamy Bells

Description

Heucherella ‘Tapestry’ is a hardy plant for shade. Its leaves are silver-green with dark veins. Soft pink flowers rise above the leaves in spring.

Easy Color for Shade

‘Tapestry’ forms a neat mound about 9 to 12 inches tall. It can spread 18 to 24 inches wide. Use it near other Heucherella such as ‘Sweet Tea’ for a mix of leaf colors.

The plant likes part shade. Morning sun is fine. Give it shade during the hot part of the day. You can also pair it with Heuchera ‘Red Lightning’ in a cool, shaded bed.

Planting and Care

Plant it in loose soil that drains well. Keep the soil moist, but not wet. A thin layer of mulch can help keep the roots cool.

Trim old leaves in spring as new growth starts. Cut spent flower stems when the bloom is done. For another bright shade plant, see Heucherella ‘Gold Zebra’.

Garden Use

‘Tapestry’ works well along paths, at the front of beds, and in pots. Its patterned leaves add color even when the plant is not in bloom. It is a simple choice for a shaded garden.
