Featured Plants - Heuchera 'Raspberry Ice'

'Raspberry Ice' (PP#13,340) combines excellent, relatively large pink flowers with beautifully silvered purple foliage. The flower stems are upright to slightly spreading. A well grown plant will have several dozen flower stalks and be up to two feet or so wide. The flowers appear in late spring and grow to about 24" tall; the foliage forms a clump about 10" tall. 'Raspberry Ice' received an excellent rating at the 2003 University of Georgia perennial trials, blooming for ten weeks, longer than any other heuchera in the trial. In 2004 Allan Armitage chose it as one of six plants to receive a "Classic City Award" because of its outstanding performance in the UGA trials.

This Blooms Selection is one of our favorite introductions. It has been an outstanding success in the garden designed by Adrian Bloom and installed in 2005at Ohio State University. It is best used in an open garden setting.
