Nothing dims its bronze glow

Name:'Sweet Tea" heucherella
(x Heucherella "Sweet Tea')
Zones: 4 to 9
Size: 12 to 18 inches tall and 28 inches wide
Shade Tolerance: Oartial to full shade

Anyone who gardens in the shade is familiar with heucherella. 'Sweet Tea'
was bred using Heuchera villosa, a native of the eastern United States,as
one of its parents, which mean it has added resistance to heat, drought,
and humidity. 'Sweet Tea' has large, orange-bronze leaves with dark
burgundy veins and short spikes of small white flowers that appear in
early spring. Its brighly colored foliage, however, is the main reason
to have this plant. Give it every couple of years.
