CITY™ Rio Heuchera

Heuchera 'Rio'

Rio Heuchera is a compact evergreen herbaceous  perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage.  The round-lobed leaves emerge a rich peachy amber and shift to amber, then tan, then finally yellow amber as it matures.  Airy clusters of tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on red spires from late spring into fall attracting butterflies.  Blooms best in  partial sun and moist well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Potential issues include powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, and frost heaving of roots if winter temperatures fluctuate widely.  Will grow slowly in heavy shade.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings,  Borders,  Woodland Gardens,  Naturalized Areas,  Native Gardens,  Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:    Lenten Rose,  Hosta,  Painted Fern
