Heucherella Burnished Bronze

Foamy Bells

Heucherella ‘Burnished Bronze’ is a colorful foliage perennial valued for its warm bronze-toned leaves and finely textured habit. A hybrid between Heuchera and Tiarella, it forms a compact, mounded clump of deeply lobed foliage that emerges bronze to copper in spring and maintains rich warm tones through the growing season. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry airy sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding delicate vertical interest while the attractive leaves remain the primary ornamental feature.
