'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. FP
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
Chiffon' (PPAF) - Large pale pink flowers on 18-24"
stems and slightly ruffled, silver-marked red-purple leaves make a
winning combination in this new introduction. This plant is a
considerable advance over earlier cultivars in flower size and shape. FP
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." 'Raspberry Ice' is markted by Must Have Perennials. FP

’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. FP
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. FP
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. FP |
 |
‘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. FP
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.

'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. FP
Best for border use. |
 |
'Stainless
Steel'
(PP#23,349) - One parent of this striking heuchera is an unusual wild-type
H. pubescens from seed from eastern West Virginia. This parent gives
it totally metallic foliage and great vigor and
drought-resistance. It has relatively large white flowers in late
spring on 24" stems. This plant is marketed by Plants Nouveau. FP Best for perennial border use. |
 |
'Steel City' –
This is an extra-vigorous selection that is a
hybrid of our classic 'Regina' with our H. villosa 'Bronze Wave.'
'Steel City' has steely-silver foliage and small pink flowers to about
30". It has proved a better survivor than any other heuchera we have
grown – a friend has said "When the other ones die, put 'Steel City' in
the holes." The even foliage coloration, airy inflorescences, and vigor
of this cultivar make it especially suited for large landscape
plantings, perhaps combined with hostas and ferns. This plant is marketed by Must Have Perennials. FP
Best for perennial borders and mass plantings. |
 |
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. 'Bronze Wave' is available from North Creek Nurseries.
Best for perennial border and naturalizing. |
