Heucherella Solar Eclipse Ground Cover

Heucherella Solar Eclipse (Heucherella)

Heucherella Solar Eclipse ground cover features wonderful striking and decorative scalloped, maple-like foliage of rich burgundy brown with a contrasting slim lime green border. These attractive plants are then topped in early Summer by dainty sprays of small white bell-shaped flowers that rise on slender creamy stems, adding long lasting colour to your borders and pots.

Semi-evergreen, with some of the palmate foliage dying back in Winter and with plumy spikes of flowers from Spring to Summer, Heucherella Solar Eclipse make a lovely colourful, low growing addition to the front of mixed beds and borders, they also make a great container plant, or indeed trailing in a good-sized hanging basket (remember to water regularly!). Highly effective as a weed supressing ground cover carpet if planted in groups, they will provide near year-round colour with the added interest of their plume stalks of delicate flowers loved by bees, from late Spring through to mid-Summer (trim these flower stalks down to their base when they have gone brown, and the plant will continue to produce flowers – though with less regularity towards the end of their flowering season). Try planting with Alchemilla Mollis to compliment the lime green edging of the Solar Eclipse leaves.
