Heuchera ‘Tiramisu’ PPAF

In both spring and fall, the chartreuse foliage of Heuchera ‘Tiramisu’ has a heavy smattering of brick red colour that radiates out from the centre of each leaf, while during summer, the leaves lighten to chartreuse and develop a light silver overlay. Amazing H. ‘Tiramisu’ has a compact habit, so it looks great in containers or as edging. As an x villosa species, it is a late blooming type that displays an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity.
