A variety of this well loved evergreen perennial that has striking pink leaves with vibrant red veins which will gradually turn wine-red by autumn. Heuchera ‘Berry Smoothie’ produces cream-white blooms throughout June and July which contrast beautifully with the pink foliage and are loved by garden pollinators. An ideal choice for adding all year interest to sunny or semi-shaded borders and patio pots.Height: 45cm (18″). Spread: 50cm (20″).Culinary note: The leaves can be tossed in with other greens for a mixed salad, typically too bitter to eat on their own, they will add a tangy kick to an otherwise bland salad. Heuchera plants dislike soils which are particularly dry or have a tendency to waterlogging. Plant them in moist, fertile, well drained soil, adding plenty of compost or well rotted manure to amend heavy clay or sandy soils. Choose a position towards the front of the border in full sun or semi shade.
