'Chiqui' heuchera (Heuchera 'Chiqui')
HEW-ker-ah
Genus:
Heuchera
Unlike many heucheras that are grown for their foliage, this heuchera is grown for its tall, large salmon-oink blooms on stems that rise 18 inches above the foliage in spring. The foliage is medium green and grows up to 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide. This cultivar prefers more sun than most heucheras but will tolerate some shade.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
May attract hummingbirds.
Care:
Provide full sun to part shade and moist, but well-drained soil. Needs consistent moisture if in full sun.
Propagation:
Divide clumps in spring.
Problems:
Occasional powdery mildew or leaf spots may occur.
