Heucherella Eye Spy

Common Name: Eye Spy Foamy Bells

Description: Heucherella 'Eye Spy' is a compact perennial celebrated for its vibrant foliage and prolonged blooming period. In spring, the deeply lobed leaves emerge amber-yellow with deep rose centers, transitioning to chartreuse green with a silver overlay as temperatures rise. Late spring brings an abundance of bubblegum pink flowers on slender stems, adding a delightful contrast to the foliage. This cultivar thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring humus-rich, well-drained soils. It's well-suited to Melbourne's climate, offering heat and humidity tolerance. Ideal for borders, containers, or as ground cover, 'Eye Spy' adds a splash of color to shaded garden areas.
