Heuchera 'Marmalade'Marmalade Heuchera

The Heuchera 'Marmalade', commonly known as Marmalade Heuchera, is a striking perennial valued for its vibrant, ruffled foliage in shades of amber, apricot, and coppery orange. The foliage colour deepens with age, adding dynamic interest to borders, containers, or mass plantings. In late spring to early summer, it produces delicate sprays of small, bell-shaped, creamy white flowers, complementing the colourful foliage. Growing up to 30 cm tall and 45 cm wide, it thrives in shaded or partially sunny gardens.
