Solar Eclipse Heucherella (Foamy Bells) – 1 Gallon Pot

---

---

With some of the most unusual and interesting foliage coloration of any Heucherella, and color lasting year round on a vigorous plant, ‘Solar Eclipse’ will not disappoint. Who would’ve ever thought that brown would be an appealing foliage color on an herbaceous perennial plant?…but the large, brownish red palmate leaves, edged all the way around with brilliant lime green, definitely have the wow factor. Throw a long mid spring to early summer bloom season in the mix, sporting abundant spikes of pretty white flowers that float above the foliage, and you have a great accent plant for shady garden beds or container gardens that both you and the butterflies and hummingbirds will enjoy. Best in part shade but will tolerate full sun in climates where summers are cooler.

Growing in a dense mound to about 10 to 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide, with blooms to 18 inches tall, the Solar Eclipse Heucherella is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or containers, or in groupings in perennial shade gardens, woodland borders, along paths and walkways or around patios. A fine addition to Heuchera gardens, woodland gardens, rock gardens, cottage gardens and perennial shade gardens.

In garden beds or containers, we like to combine Heucherella plants with other Heuchera or Heucherella varieties, Hosta lilies, perennial ferns and other part shade to shade loving plants and trees.

When planted right, and in the right spot Heucherella are very easy to grow.
