Finally breeders are coming out with more great selections of our native Heuchera villosa which is so common on dry cliffs here in the southeast. Built to withstand southern heat and humidity, they are at home in shade and dryish, well-drained soils. This one, Carmel, developed by Thierry Delabroye in France, was actually discovered as a single yellow seedling from Heuchera villosa 'Autumn Bride'. Lucky for us, because it is a very attractive big robust grower that has fuzzy butterscotch leaves with purplish undersides and cream colored flowers in mid-summer. It would look great with Firepink and Eared Coreopsis. Cat# 1487
