DESCRIPTION
Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' is a hybrid perennial prized for its stunning foliage and vibrant seasonal interest. Its large, lobed leaves showcase a rich blend of warm orange and cinnamon tones with deep burgundy veining, transitioning to brighter hues as the seasons progress. In late spring to early summer, delicate sprays of tiny white flowers emerge on slender stems, adding a subtle contrast to the bold foliage.

This hybrid was created to provide improved vigor and heat tolerance, making it a reliable choice for a range of climates. Its bold coloration and adaptability have made it a favorite for mixed borders, woodland gardens, and container displays.
