Four new varieties of Heuchera
 

Amongst the new varieties of perennials introduced by Proven Winners® at the Chelsea Flower Show, London, 2004, four new Heuchera varieties will be on display. These striking varieties come from the Terra Nova breeding programme of Dan Heims. Many new varieties of Heuchera have been introduced in recent years; these plants mix perfectly with other perennials and provide brightly coloured foliage plants to combine with flowering annuals in containers and hanging baskets. The new varieties are Heuchera ‘Crème Brule’, ‘Lemon Chiffon’, ‘Liquorice’ and ‘Peach Pie’. These and other new varieties from Proven Winner® were on display in the ‘Kurvy yet Linear, Irresistibly Elegant’ garden designed by Pershore College. Two compact  Euphorbia varieties (‘Efanthia’and ‘Kalipso’), Heucherella ‘Gold Strike’ and Tiarella ‘Morning Star’, ‘Snow Blanket’ and ‘Starburst’ counted for the remainder of the new exclusive introductions from Proven Winner® on display. The garden demostrated contemporary design with an emphasis on containerised gardening that is ideal for these varieties of perennials and designed to appeal to younger gardeners. The plants were chosen for low maintenance and to provide interest for most of the year in terms of colour, texture and shape of the contrasting varieties in various combinations.  For further information contact Martin Simmons at Proven Winners Europe.
