The small group of perennials is unque in that is made up of varieties that are all hybrids between Heuchera and Tiarella.  No form of Heucheralla existis in the wild.  This first Heucherella to become well known was a variey named 'Bridget Bloom' introduced by Blooms of Bressingham in 1955.  Since then there have been more introductions brought forward but this group is still very limited.   Unfortunatly Heucherella is not as vigorous as its two parents.  Plants do not tolerate poor growing coditions and do not fair well in areas with hot humid summers.   Heucherella requires a very rich, humusy soil with plenty of organic matter and good drainage.  Plants need  protection from the hot afternoon sun.  Feed in early spring with a top dressing of compost and bone meal.  Feed again in mid summer with blood meal and bone meal.  Liquid feed a few times during the summer with fish emulsion or seaweed extract.  Heucherella are beautiful perennials and worth the extra effort!

All forms of Heucherella are sterile making them profuse bloomers.
