x Heucherella is an interspecific 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:
Tapestry® is a beautiful foamy bells bred by Janet Egger from Terra Nova Nurseries, USA, and patented as PP21150 in 2010. It makes large, semi-evergreen, deeply lobed leaves. They are dark burgundy red to almost chocolate brown in the centre, and green at margins. From May until September it produces numerous stems with small cut conspicuous, bell-shaped, rosy pink flowers in several flushes. It grows vigorously forming a dense mound of colourful foliage and attractive flowers for a long period. 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 in order 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.
