Heucherella 'Pumpkin Spice'
Heucherella 'Pumpkin Spice'
A scrumptious cultivar, 'Pumpkin Spice', has intense pumpkin colored leaves with mahogany centers during the season of its namesake and throughout the cooler parts of the year. In late spring the plants erupt with foamy white flowers that are loved by hummingbirds and butterflies. As the heat increases the foliage turns caramel colored with some green tint to the leaves. This stunner is evergreen and provides a 365 day display. A great shade perennial for standalone plantings, en masse plantings, or incorporating within the mixed border. These plants are especially beautiful with heuchera or heucherella varieties that have darker foliage.
