Coral Bells - Amber Waves
The Heuchera 'Amber Waves', Heuchera micrantha, also known as Coral Bells and Alumroot, is a gold leaf coral bells! After years of waiting, the folks at Terra Nova have produced one of the most unique coral bells that we have ever grown. Heuchera 'Amber Waves', which won the "Best New Plant" Award for 2001 at the largest UK nursery trade show, emerges with heavily ruffled golden new foliage that changes to a burnished orange as the leaves age, echoing the fall coloration of leaves on the trees. The light rose flowers that top the plant in spring create quite a stirring combination with the foliage. You will be dazzled by this new introduction and a winner of several European awards. From Dan Heims' prolific breeding program, the light rose colored flowers definitely play second fiddle to the stunning, ruffled, amber gold foliage. ... additional information
