Heuchera Delta Dawn

Heucheras are incredible garden plants for their toughness, colour and texture which looks good ‘all year round’. Some varieties are bred specifically for foliage while others for their lovely ‘coral bell’ flowers. Heuchera ‘Delta Dawn’ has large, round leaves with red centres in Spring and Autumn. In summer the leaf veins become red resembling a river and tributaries, hence the ‘Delta’ name. This venation is highlighted by the lime gold leaf margins. A strong vigorous habit and excellent performer with very unusual foliage.

Heucheras prefer part shade conditions in New Zealand, growing best when protected from afternoon sun. The darker the foliage generally the more sun tolerant so lighter Heucheras like ‘Delta Dawn’ will need some shade.  Avoid over-watering or water logged soils, ensure good drainage as with all Heucheras. Take care not to bury the crown of Heucheras when planting. Water and feed occasionally with slow release fertiliser.
