Heuchera Dolce® 'Silver Gumdrop'

Heucheras are colorful groundcover foliage plants and Silver Gumdrop has some of the most beautiful silver leaves. This stunning semi-evergreen coral bells is anything but basic with its unmatched style and fun color!  You'll find this low growing form very appealing as a small to midsize foliage plant with attractive habit and stately leaves that spray out flat so you can best appreciate the color.

Plants with silver foliage are valuable to the landscape since they combine so well with anything and highlight other plants in your garden. Silver Gumdrop will fulfill some wishes for a sparkling style!

Early spring reddish-silver new leaves quickly turn silver with distinctive veining. Silver Gumdrop gets only 6-10" tall spreading to about 16-20". In early summer it is adorned with pink blooms that reach 20" tall that attract pollinators.  Long stalks make terrific cut flowers.

Here's what you'll love about Silver Gumdrop:

• Spot it where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade or grow in partial shade. They love soft shade!
• Low maintenance ground cover
• During the course of the season you'll find the sun slightly burning off the silver overlay with eye catching purple pigment highlights appearing. What a contrast-especially in flower!
• More compact than other types - so it fits well into smaller spaces
• It's adorable size and tailored look is perfect for container combos
• Silver injects color into dull shaded spots. Use as an edging to buxus, line a shaded path, combine it with your favorite annual, pair with hosta or viola.
• Just gorgeous when paired with other colorful heucheras!  (we are fond of combining with Forever Purple or Obsidian)

Heuchera prefer a rich, humus, moisture retentive soil. Take care not to bury the crown as it should sit at the soil line. They have moderate moisture needs.  Heucheras are not heavy feeders and have low fertilizer requirements.
