It is excellent viewed up close for both foliage and flowers in smaller gardens. Good plant for nestling landscape boulders or to round the base of pedestal or fountain.

Remove old, faded foliage in early spring. |
| History | Heuchera is an herbaceous perennial native to North America. The genus was named after 18th century German physician, Johann Heinrich von Heucher (1677-1746). With a slightly sour taste, the leaves are edible and can be used in salads and sandwiches. Native Americans used these thick roots for a medicinal by drying and then pounding them into a wound dressing, hence the common name, alum root. Marmalade was Introduced by Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon. It is part of their extensive breeding program for Heuchera native to North America This hybrid is related to H.americana of the eastern U.S. and H. micrantha, a native to the west. Heuchera 'Lime Marmalade' was found as a sport on the well known, amber-foliaged Heuchera 'Marmalade' from Terra Nova. |
