Heuchera Pistache
Likes a bit of shade.
The new spring foliage of this Coral Bells is bright yellow, dazzling for many weeks early in the season. As the warmer temperatures arrive, so do the lime tones, until the leaves reach a perfect shade of chartreuse. In early to midsummer they are topped by flaring white bells, but this is the only change -- Pistache will NOT green out!
Measuring 10 inches high (when not in bloom) and 14 inches wide, Pistache is a hybrid of the native species H. villosa, though it prefers a bit more shade than many villosa hybrids do. Give it part to half shade and let it revel in its golden hues all summer and fall!
Compared to other Heucheras, it is larger and later to bloom, with rounded foliage reminiscent of maple leaves in shape and magnificent color changes. Evergreen and very well branched, these plants tolerate our hot, humid summers better than other Heuchera species, and fare well in dappled to half shade. Add a few to your shade border this season and discover the carefree pleasure of these adaptable, vigorous perennials. Zones 4-9.
