FYRE WING™ Jadeite Heuchera

The Seven of the Lace CrownExplore the rest of the FYRE WING™ collection Amber Heliodor Hematite Jadeite Jet Rhodonite Spinel FYRE WING™ Jadeite Heuchera has exceptionally fuzzy, deeply divided green leaves with a finely cut, wing-like appearance. Heuchera villosa Jadeite forms a compact-to-medium mound about 10 inches tall and 14 inches wide, with white flowers rising to roughly 14 inches in late spring. The fresh green foliage develops a light bronze cast in fall and tiny hairs across the surface catch dew, rain, and frost. We especially notice Jadeite after a cool morning, when moisture settles across the fuzzy leaf surfaces.Jadeite belongs to Terra Nova Nurseries FYRE WING™ series, developed from a rare leaf mutation that led to a new lace-leaf form in heuchera. This selection represents the first reliably expressed green-toned form of that trait, combining a moderately growing mounded habit with unusually broad, fuzzy leaves. Its foliage is evergreen in milder climates and may become semi-evergreen in colder parts of its USDA zones 4 to 9 range. Its fresh green color works especially well as a quieter foliage layer beside darker coral bells, along woodland edges, in low border groupings, or in mixed patio containers.FYRE WING™ Jadeite Heuchera CareGrow in full sun to part shade, giving it protection from intense afternoon sun if summers are hot. Plant in enriched, organic soil with moderate drainage, keeping the crown at or slightly above the surrounding soil level. A slightly acidic medium around pH 5.8 to 6.2 is suitable.Water regularly during the first growing season when the upper layer begins to dry. Once established, the fuzzy foliage is associated with better tolerance for moderately dry conditions than many smooth-leaved heucheras, but prolonged drought can still cause stress. Apply a light layer of compost or a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring, keeping fertilizer and mulch away from the crown. In colder climates, leave healthy foliage in place through winter to help shield the crown from drying winds and
