Heuchera Citrinella

Coral Bells 'Citrinilla

Heuchera ‘Citrinella’ is a vibrant foliage perennial valued for its bright chartreuse to lemon-lime leaves that add striking brightness to shaded plantings. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded, lightly ruffled foliage that maintains its luminous color throughout the growing season. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry airy clusters of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding delicate contrast while allowing the vivid leaves to remain the main feature.
