Heuchera 'Palace Purple'
Palace Purple Coralbells
Heuchera ‘Lime Rickey’ is a vibrant foliage perennial valued for its bright lime-green leaves that add striking contrast to shaded plantings. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded, lightly ruffled foliage that maintains its vivid chartreuse color throughout the growing season. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding a soft accent without overpowering the bold leaf color. Its luminous foliage helps brighten darker areas of the garden.
