Description: Heucherella ‘Copper Cascade’ is a stunning trailing perennial known for its rich, coppery-orange foliage and gracefully cascading habit. A hybrid of Heuchera and Tiarella, this cultivar brings together the best of both genera — colourful, textured foliage and excellent form — making it a standout choice for Melbourne gardens. Its deeply lobed, semi-glossy leaves emerge in shades of copper, rose, and gold, gradually deepening with age and seasonal changes. In late spring to early summer, it sends up delicate sprays of small white flowers that float above the foliage, adding a soft, airy touch. Perfect for hanging baskets, rockeries, containers, or as a gently trailing ground cover, ‘Copper Cascade’ thrives in part shade and well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It’s ideal for underplanting, softening edges, or brightening shady corners with foliage that holds year-round interest in Melbourne’s mild climate.
