Heuchera ‘Lemon Love’ PP31,223
Blooming Time
Exposure
The nearly fluorescent yellow foliage of ‘Lemon Love’ makes this Heuchera quite useful for contrast and brightening up shady areas. And, the foliage in non-scorching, which is likely due to its H. villosa heritage. The H. villosa parentage also contributes to its robust size, up to 3-feet-across. A low grower, ‘Lemon Love’ forms mounds to 14-inches, and during summer sends up bright chartreuse floral scapes, which bear ivory flowers. The broad stature of ‘Lemon Love’ makes it ideal for borders or colorful ground covering where it is exceptional at lightening up shadowy spots in the landscape.
