Heuchera 'Fire Chief'

Consistent wine-red leaves with pink flowers create an excellent accent in sun or shade.
Item: HeuFiCh

Description

Mid-sized leaves of glowing wine red make a gorgeous medium sized mound. These are topped with bicolored pink and white flowers on dark red stems. Foliage turns a little browner in the winter, but otherwise holds its wine red color. Blooms continuously spring, summer, and fall like H. ‘Paris’. You’ll need to call the Fire Chief when you see this one!

Care

Many Heucheras are evergreen and old leaves should not be cut back until new growth has fully emerged in the spring. Foliage that has completely died can be removed any time. Remove spent blossoms to encourage additional blooms or to extend blooming period. Most Heucheras prefer part sun with well-drained soils. In colder climates, take care to keep the crown low-to-the-ground. As heucheras age their crowns tend to extend upwards. This can be fatal over winter in border-line climates.
