Heucherella/Foamy Bells – Fun and Games Capture the Flag

A Heucherella set to capture your attention! This large-leaved variety has deeply lobed chartreuse leaves with dramatic burgundy red centers. In late spring clouds of white flowers appear on light colored stems above the foliage. Compared with ‘Eye Spy’ the flowers are white instead of pink and the centers of the leaves are more red. Try this semi-evergreen perennial to brighten up the shade. ‘Capture the Flag’ will put up new leaves early in the season and hold foliage interest through the fall, with winter color showing in warmer zones without snow cover.

Heucherella is a hybrid genus produced from a cross between Heuchera and Tiarella. From Heuchera they gain the many different foliage colors and textures, while Tiarella add deeper leaf lobes and serration, as well as their signature central leaf blotching. Heucherella are sterile hybrids, and so typically have longer bloom seasons than either of their parents.
