Heucherella Princess Ruby

Grown primarily for its richly coloured ruby-red foliage, this compact perennial delivers outstanding colour and texture throughout the year. The deeply lobed leaves create a lush, mounded display that adds contrast and interest to shaded garden spaces, borders and decorative containers.

During spring and summer, slender stems rise above the foliage carrying airy sprays of delicate flowers that bring an extra layer of beauty and movement to the garden. The striking foliage colour remains the main feature, providing a vibrant accent among green-leaved plants and other shade-loving companions.

Thriving in part shade to full shade, it performs best in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Regular watering helps maintain healthy growth, particularly during warmer weather, while removing tired foliage keeps plants looking fresh and attractive.

Growing to approximately 30cm tall and 45cm wide, it forms a neat, spreading clump that is easy to incorporate into a wide range of garden styles. Reliable, colourful and low maintenance, it is an excellent choice for adding year-round foliage interest and elegant seasonal highlights to sheltered outdoor spaces.
