‘Pumpkin Spice’ foamy bells has bronze red leaves that emerge in late spring and hold its color well into early summer. It forms a very dense mound of interesting foliage that is evergreen in most climates. Each 4” lobed leaf has deep mahogany centers that follow the veins of the leaf. Dark red stems hold cream flowers that appear in early summer. A hybrid of Heuchera and Tiarella, ‘Pumpkin Spice’ is naturally more heat and humidity tolerant and has greater vigor than other Heucherellas. Heucherella are sterile hybrids, and so typically have longer bloom seasons than either of their parents. For best foliage color and performance, plant in an area with filtered sun or afternoon shade.
