TWO RECENT HEUCHERA INTRODUCTIONS (SPRING 2011)

Last spring we introduced two new heucheras, H. 'Dark Chocolate' and H. 'Stainless Steel.' Both of these varieties continue our commitment to large, showy flowers combined with excellent foliage. 'Dark Chocolate' has light pink flowers from dark pink buds in narrow steeple-shaped panicles and dark purple leaves that do not green out when summer comes. 'Stainless Steel' has totally silver-metallic foliage and large white flowers on 24" stems. These are available through Plants Nouveau.

MONROVIA NURSERY IS THE EXCLUSIVE SUPPLIER OF FOUR PRIMROSE PATH HEUCHERAS

In spring 2008 Monrovia brought out four of our plants. These are plants that feature larger and showier flowers than other purple and silver leaved forms now on the market. 

'Moonlight' has very large luminous pale green flowers and contrastingly dark stems over purple foliage. When we evaluated our trial plants in the early '90s this stood out because of its flowers, but also because of very good growth proportions and an unusual mysterious quality to the coloration. As shown in the photo 'Moonlight' goes well with ferns like Athyrium niponicum f. pictum and A. 'Ghost.'	'Caroline' is a special favorite of ours. It is named after our four-year-old granddaughter. 'Caroline' the plant has large creamy white flowers that contrast very pleasingly with the red-purple buds and soft bronze-purple foliage. This grows about 20" tall and is very floriferous.
'Crystal Spires' has a cool, icy look, quite different from 'Caroline.' The plants are relatively large, with leaves that are almost entirely silver and white flowers to about 24".	'Rose Majesty' has large pink flowers on 24" stems and relatively small, rounded soft bronze leaves with a slight ruffle.
