Solar Eclipse Foamy Bells

Heucherella 'Solar Eclipse'

Solar Eclipse Foamy Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage.  The broad and scalloped round-lobed leaves are red brown outlined with a bright lime green margin.  Airy clusters of tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on spires in midsummer attracting butterflies.  Best bloom 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
