Summary

Heuchera ‘Color Dream’ was one of the best performing silver-leaved cultivars in our trial. Its habit was consistently full and lush. In spring the foliage emerged predominantly silver but with dark hues of purple and green. These colors began to homogenize as the season progressed to produce a beautiful silvery leaf with blue-green undertones and accentuating dark green veins. This cultivar did not rate highly for its floral display due to a low quantity of inflorescences. However, its uniformly mounding foliage never failed to impress. When grown in full sun, ‘Color Dream’ experienced slightly burnt leaf tips and discoloration, and is thus only recommended for part shade – full shade conditions.

Edge a shade or part-shade border with the full, silvery mounds of Heuchera ‘Color Dream.’ This distinctive Coral Bells was rated highly by our friends at Mt. Cuba Center for its performance and consistently lush habit. The leaves emerge silver with undertones of purple and green, some with red margins, then age to silver with a blue-green cast and dark green veining. The show of small white flowers is less significant. You’ll cherish this one for its foliage and long season of fuss-free good looks. PPAF

Heuchera is an American genus with lobed leaves and tiny, bell-shaped flowers on wand-like stems. Determined breeders have turned these perennials into some of the most attractive foliage plants. Heucheras make themselves at home in moist but well-drained, organic-enriched soils. They are attractive to hummingbirds and rarely troubled by deer.
