Electrify your landscape with Heuchera ‘Electric Lime’, a lovely variety of Coral Bells with a bold foliage of large, large lime green leaves adorned with contrasting blood-red veins in cool temperatures. It forms a large mound In late spring to early summer, attractive spikes of densely packed, white flowers rise above the large semi-evergreen foliage mound. This Heuchera is prized by gardeners for its heat and humidity tolerance.

  • This clump-forming perennial forms basal mounds, up to 12 in. tall (30 cm) with a spread of 28 in. (70 cm).
  • This sturdy performer is not only easy to grow, but also requires little maintenance and is virtually pest and disease free!
  • Performs best in part shade, in rich, humusy, medium moisture, well-drained soils. If grown in full sun, make sure the soil remains consistently moist or the foliage might decline. Thrives in dry shade, once established. It is attractive to butterflies and often ignored by deer.
  • A spectacular addition to beds, borders, rock gardens, and 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.
