Robust and compact, Heuchera ‘Citronelle’ features showy, citron yellow leaves adorned with silver undersides that retain their luminous color throughout the growing season. If planted in a shady area, the foliage becomes more chartreuse. In mid-summer, panicles of small, bell-shaped, creamy flowers bloom on slender stems rising up to 14 in. (35 cm), just above the semi-evergreen foliage. A terrific choice for adding a touch of color in the rock garden, perennial border, along paths or in containers. This Heuchera villosa hybrid is a sport of the highly popular ‘Caramel’.

  • This clump-forming perennial forms basal mounds, up to 12 in. tall (30 cm) with a spread of 14 in. (35 cm). This sturdy performer is not only easy to grow, but also requires little maintenance and is pest and disease free!
  • Performs best in part shade or full shade, in rich, humusy, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Thrives in dry shade, once established.
  • It is attractive to butterflies and often ignored by deer.
  • A spectacular addition to beds, borders, rock gardens, woodland gardens and is ideal as a groundcover, edger along paths or in containers. Fabulous when planted in groups!
  • Divide clumps in spring every 3-4 years.
  • Remove stems of faded flowers to promote additional bloom. Apply winter mulch after the ground freezes to help prevent root heaving.
