If you’re looking for a bright-colored foliage plant, you’ve found it! Vibrant lime green leaves are rounded, giving it a refined presence in the garden. In the centers of each leaves are very defined flame-shaped markings that flare from the center like cherry red fire. In summer, these markings will deepen to mahogany. Cream flowers appear in early summer. This is a very polished, vigorous plant. For best foliage color and performance, plant in an area with filtered sun or afternoon shade.
‘Catching Fire’ is a H. villosa hybrid which means that it is naturally more heat and humidity tolerant and also has greater vigor than Heucherellas without such parentage. It forms a very dense mound of interesting foliage that is evergreen in most climates.
Key Details & Care:
- Best Location: Part shade to full shade (prefers morning sun with afternoon shade to prevent leaf burn).
- Climate: Highly heat and humidity tolerant due to H. villosa parentage.
USDA Zones: 4-9. - Usage: Excellent for containers, edging, and brightening up woodland gardens or dark shady areas.
- Maintenance: Low maintenance, evergreen in most climates, and deer resistant.
Soil: Requires well-drained soil.
'Catching Fire' is characterized by its superior vigor,, and intense, season-long color shift from bright lime/red in spring to deep green/mahogany in summer.
