The Seven of the Lace CrownExplore the rest of the FYRE WING™ collection Amber Heliodor Hematite Jadeite Jet Rhodonite Spinel FYRE WING™ Rhodonite Heuchera opens the season in rosy copper tones, then layers in violet, silver, and purple as the foliage matures. The purple tones become increasingly prominent toward fall. The narrow, deeply divided foliage has a distinctly lacy appearance but retains the durability expected from heuchera. Rhodonite forms a compact mound about 8 inches tall and 11 inches wide and occasionally blooms 14-inch stems of white flowers in late spring. Heuchera villosa Rhodonite belongs to Terra Nova Nurseries FYRE WING™ series, developed from an unusual leaf mutation that was refined through several years of breeding and selection. It represents the first reliably expressed form of the series lace-leaf trait in rose-toned foliage, providing a markedly different look from conventional rounded-leaf coral bells. Hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, the plant maintains a dense mounding habit and handles both summer heat and winter cold when drainage is good. Use it along shaded walkways, beneath open-canopy shrubs, in small foliage groupings, or as a compact focal plant in mixed containers.FYRE WING™ Rhodonite Heuchera CareGrow FYRE WING™ Rhodonite Heuchera in full sun to part shade, giving it some protection from intense afternoon sun in hotter climates. Organic-rich, moderately well-drained soil supports the best root growth, and the crown should remain at or slightly above soil level. Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH, although coral bells tolerate a fairly broad range when drainage is suitable.Water when the top 2 inches of soil begin to dry, keeping newly planted heuchera evenly moist while roots develop. Established plants tolerate short dry periods and generally perform better with slightly dry soil than with prolonged saturation. Apply a thin layer of compost or a modest amount of balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring as growth resumes. Trim tattered or damaged foliage just before new spring growth begins, using clean shears to cut individual leaves close to the crow
