'Purple Mountain
Majesty (PP#16,405) – This is one of our
new favorites. It has compact purple foliage with a light
silver pattern and very large, almost globular white
flowers on erect 18-24” stems in spring.
‘Purple Mountain Majesty’ has been more
sun-tolerant for us than most heucheras over the past
couple of summers. Best for perennial border and raised bed use. |

'Quilters' Joy'
- Crisply defined silver markings on a bronze background
make this selection look like patchwork. 'Quilters' Joy'
has white flowers on 18-24” stems in late spring. We
suggest combining this with Penstemon digitalis 'Husker
Red'. 'Quilters' Joy was given an Award of Garden Merit
in 2002 in the RHS Wisley trials. Best for perennial border use. |
 |
'Raspberry
Ice' (PP#13,340) - This sister of 'Silver
Scrolls' has relatively large pink flowers in late spring
on 24” stems and beautifully marked silver and
burgundy foliage. When well grown, plants become quite
large. One at the Blooms Trial Garden in southeastern
Pennsylvania was at least 2 ft across in its third year.
As a plant in the Blooms Program, this receives extra
sales promotion from them. This was one of the six plants
chosen by Allan Armitage from the University of Georgia
2004 perennial trials to receive a "Classic City
Award." Best for perennial border use. |
 |
’Rose
Mirrors’ (PP#13,140) - This introduction
has very dark purple leaves with a central area of
silver. The showy medium pink flowers are borne on
18” stems. Best for perennial border and raised bed use. |
 |
'Royal Velvet' (PP#16,335)
– 'Royal Velvet' has rich dark purple and silver
leaves that are softly fuzzy and slightly ruffled and
frilled. In spring the plant has an abundance of white
flowers on erect 18” stems. This a very unusual and
interesting looking heuchera. Best for border and raised bed use. |
 |
'Shenandoah Mountain' (PP#15,357) - This cultivar is distinguished by its large size and vigor. The creamy white flowers and purple buds on leafy stems make a dense 30” display in late spring; the foliage is well silvered purple-bronze. 'Shenandoah Mountain' is a middle of the border perennial at its best in light shade. |
 |
‘Silver
Light’ (PP#15,067) -
“Silverissimo” could be another name for this
selection. The highly metallic foliage seems to bring
light to shaded parts of the garden. ‘Silver
Light’ has showy, frilly, light pink flowers to
about 18” in late spring. Excellent for container and raised bed use. |
 |
’Silver
Lode’ (PP#13,339) - Another sibling of
‘Silver Scrolls,’ this is a tall variety with
white flowers to 36” over foliage that is totally
matte silvered. The foliage reverse is burgundy in color.
This is a Blooms Selection and receives the benefit of
their promotion. Photo courtesy Blooms. Best for border use. |
 |
'Silver Scrolls'
(PP#12,066) – We consider this extraordinary hybrid
to be one of our very best introductions. The rounded
leaves are metallic silver marked with a scrollwork of
dark veining. It has showy, erect wands of white flowers
tinged with pink in spring to 24 inches and grows
vigorously to form impressive clumps after a single
season. In shade the foliage of 'Silver Scrolls'
brightens the garden, and it remains attractive through
the fall and winter while many other perennials have
retreated underground. 'Silver Scrolls' won a Bronze
Medal at Plantarium 2000 in Holland. Best for border use. |
 |
villosa f.
purpurea ‘Bronze Wave’ - This
dark-leaved form is the largest of the heucheras we grow.
The wavy-margined hairy leaves are 6 to 8” across
and make a clump about 24” across and 18” high.
24” wands of pinkish-white flowers are produced from
mid to late summer. The plants we offer are a clone
selected for vigor, habit, leaf shape, and retention of
good foliage color through the season. Best for perennial border and naturalizing. |
