Heucherella
x Heucherella is a hybrid perennial first bred by Emile Lemoine in France in 1912. It is a cross between coral bells (heuchera) and foam flower (tiarella). So it made sense to have combined these common names into ‘foamy bells’, how uncanny!Description of the plant:
Pink Fizz is an American foamy bells variety bred by Hans Hansen from Walters Gardens in Michigan. It produces handsome, palmate, mint green leaves with aubergine purple veins. In early summer appear short stems with dense, compact, terminal panicles composed of tiny, coral pink flowers. Leaves are deeply lobed and remain evergreen almost all year round. Patent. No. PP26947 was granted in 2016.Foamy bells do best in neutral to lightly acid, evenly moist soil that is medium fertile to humus-rich, and importantly constantly moist. Dry soil will most probably result in scorched foliage. Full sun or part shade are best, full shade is tolerated while colours may not perform to their best. Most varieties keep their foliage nice through winter, yet we recommend removing old leaves to encourage production of healthy new foliage in spring. Fully hardy to abt. -34°C (USDA zone 4) and can be grown in outdoor pots.
