Heuchera 'Fyre Wing™ Heliodor'
coral bells
Bright, cheerful and full of texture, this distinctive heuchera brings a splash of zingy colour to borders and containers. The finely divided, deeply cut leaves emerge in vibrant yellow-green shades, with warm coppery tones on the new growth, while their soft, hairy texture catches the light beautifully.
Delicate sprays of tiny pale flowers rise above the foliage in summer, adding a light, airy touch without stealing the show from those wonderfully unusual leaves. Pair it with ferns, hostas or other shade-loving perennials for an easy-going planting scheme with plenty of interest.
Heuchera 'Fyre Wing Heliodor' forms a compact, spreading mound and is a wonderful choice for adding contrast among darker foliage or brightening a partially shaded spot.
Please note that any pots in the photographs are not supplied with the plants (which are sent out in simple nursery alternatives), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Heuchera Fyre Wing™ Heliodor:
Plant 30-45cm (12-18in) apart in moderately fertile, moist, but well-drained soil, incorporating compost to improve drainage and fertility. Keep well watered and remove tatty foliage in autumn.
Lift and divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn and re-plant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in spring.

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
