x Heucherella Brass Lantern (Foamy Bells)

x Heucherella 'Brass Lantern' (Foamy Bells) is a vigorous perennial forming a bold mound of maple-like, palmately-lobed, brassy gold leaves with dark red veins from spring to fall. The foliage darkens to deep cinnamon and olive green in the winter. In early summer, wands of small, bell-shaped white flowers are held above the foliage on deep-red stems. One of the best foamy bells for shady woodland gardens, containers, and mixed borders. Evergreen in mild climates. Best color contrast with some shade.
