Summary
'Peach Crisp' brings warm, glowing color to shaded gardens with tightly ruffled foliage in shades of peach, apricot, and soft amber. Its compact form makes it easy to tuck into containers, rock gardens, and front-of-border plantings.
In early summer, slender stems rise above the foliage with delicate white blooms that add movement and subtle contrast. The foliage maintains its color through the growing season and deepens slightly as temperatures cool.
Care
Heuchera 'Peach Crisp' Care
Plant in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment and during extended dry periods, avoiding waterlogged conditions that can damage the crown.
Partial shade enhances foliage color and helps prevent leaf scorch, though plants tolerate more sun in cooler climates. Remove spent flower stems and trim away tired foliage in early spring before new growth begins.
Feed once yearly in spring with a
slow release fertilizer
to support healthy foliage and steady growth.
Container Growing: This variety performs well in containers placed in partial sun or filtered light. Use a well-draining potting mix and monitor watering carefully, as containers dry out more quickly than garden soil. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
