The Seven of the Lace CrownExplore the rest of the FYRE WING™ collection Amber Heliodor Hematite Jadeite Jet Rhodonite Spinel FYRE WING™ Jet Heuchera has deeply cut black foliage with fine silver hairs that give the leaves a reflective finish as light moves across them. Short reddish flower stems reach roughly 10 inches and carry light pink blooms in late spring and early summer. The foliage stays densely packed, giving this small perennial substantial texture even when it is not flowering. Heuchera villosa Jet forms a compact mound about 7 inches tall and 10 inches wide.Jet is part of Terra Nova Nurseries FYRE WING™ series, developed from a rare mutation that ultimately produced deeply divided, lace-like leaves unlike conventional coral bells.

Established plants tolerate modest drying between waterings and generally perform better with slightly dry soil than with prolonged wet conditions. Apply a thin compost layer or a modest dose of balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring. Remove weathered leaves in e
