Heuchera Blackberry Crisp
The ‘Crisp’ series of Heucheras have characteristic crispy, wavy margins, providing a new texture effect, and available in four colours; ‘Apple’, ‘Blackberry’, ‘Peach’ and ‘Pear’. These Heucheras have a tight habit and are noted for their winter colours and tolerance of the cooler climate due to a higher percentage of H. micrantha in their breeding. With a series of distinctive colours but with a common texture to the foliage this offers a new dimension to your shade garden landscaping . Heuchera ‘Blackberry Crisp’ is a delightful purple black foliage Heuchera which graduates through subtle changes from deepest burgundy in the spring darkening with intensifying light. Delightful contrasting creamy white flowers appear in Spring.
Heucheras prefer part shade conditions in New Zealand, growing best when protected from afternoon sun. The darker the foliage generally the more sun tolerant so ‘Blackberry Crisp’ can be expected to be more sun tolerant than most. Heucheras in the Crisp Series tolerate drought conditions and extremes of winter weather. Avoid over-watering or water logged soils, ensure good drainage as with all Heucheras. Water and feed occasionally with slow release fertiliser.
