Heuchera 'Pistache' PP19585

Common Name: Coral Bells

'Pistache' is a robust grower with large, light lime green to chartreuse-yellow leaves depending on the sun exposure. The color is a perfect foil for blue hostas or purple-leaved heucheras. However, since the leaves are so light in color, this variety appreciates more shade than some of the other villosa hybrids. May develop a red edge in fall.  It is from Thierry Delabroye of France.

This plant is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. The villosa species is a large, late blooming type that exhibits an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity over other species. Most produce cream flowers in midsummer, though they are grown more for their fantastic foliage. H. villosa is native to the southeastern United States.

Coral bells are easy to grow and blend easily with most other perennials in the landscape. Because of their low, mounding habit, they are often used as edging along paths or in containers.
