FYRE WING™ Spinel Heuchera

The Seven of the Lace CrownExplore the rest of the FYRE WING™ collection Amber Heliodor Hematite Jadeite Jet Rhodonite Spinel FYRE WING™ Spinel Heuchera introduces deeply cut, lace-like foliage in layered purple-bronze tones, giving coral bells an entirely different leaf form. Heuchera villosa Spinel forms a dense mound about 7 inches tall and 14 inches wide, with fuzzy leaves carrying hints of red and silver that shift with temperature and light. Flowers are infrequent, keeping attention on the foliage, though occasional pale flower stems may reach about 12 inches in late spring. The intricate leaf shape is most noticeable along a path or container edge, where the fine serration and red-toned undersides can be viewed up close.Spinel belongs to Terra Nova Nurseries FYRE WING™ series, developed from a rare leaf mutation through five years of breeding and selection beginning in 2021. It represents the first reliably expressed form of the lace-leaf trait in purple-toned heuchera, creating finely divided foliage that differs substantially from the rounded leaves associated with traditional coral bells. Fine hairs cover the leaf surfaces, adding texture and catching droplets of water or frost. Hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, this compact perennial fits edging, low foreground plantings, repeated foliage groups, and mixed containers.FYRE WING™ Spinel Heuchera CareGrow FYRE WING™ Spinel Heuchera in full sun to part shade, using more afternoon shade where summers are particularly hot. Choose organic-rich, moderately well-drained soil and position the crown at or slightly above the surrounding soil level. A slightly acidic pH around 5.8 to 6.2 is recommended by the breeder.Water newly planted heuchera when the top 2 inches of soil begin to dry, maintaining steady moisture while roots establish. Mature plants can dry modestly between waterings and generally handle somewhat dry soil better than prolonged saturation. Apply a thin layer of compost or a balanced slow-release perennial fertilizer in spring, keeping feeding moderate.
