Heucherella 'Tapestry' – Bold Foliage Contrast and Long-Lasting Colour
Heucherella ‘Tapestry’ is a striking semi-evergreen perennial that combines the best traits of Heuchera and Tiarella, delivering vibrant colour and reliable garden performance. Its lobed, marbled blue-green leaves are overlaid with dramatic dark purple veining, creating a tapestry-like effect that adds bold texture and interest to borders, containers, or woodland gardens. In spring, slender stems rise above the foliage with soft pink flowers that attract pollinators and add delicate vertical movement.
This hardy, low-maintenance plant thrives in partial shade and makes an excellent ground cover or accent plant when paired with ferns, hostas, or grasses. 'Tapestry' offers colour from season to season and performs beautifully in both formal and naturalistic planting styles.
