Dolce® Key Lime Pie coral bells (Heuchera ‘TNHEU042’)
HEW-ker-ah
Genus:
Heuchera
In the past decade or so, dozens of new
Heuchera cultivars have appeared sporting many combinations of foliage color. While all are delightful foliage plants, the lighter-colored varieties seem best adapted to shade. The most popular of these is Dolce® Key Lime Pie. With its bright gold–chartreuse leaves, this gem of a plant will light up a dark, shady area.
