Culture Notes
Heucherellas enjoy cool, moist areas and have a clump forming habit. For best performance, it's important they not be allowed to dry out. Excellent for use in a woodland garden, particularly if combined with plants such as Pulmonaria. Heucherellas are classified as evergreens or semi-evergreens, depending on the zone in which they are thriving. Its maple-like foliage does tend to change with the seasons, most notably showing purple markings in the spring. In the case of 'Viking Ship', its spring foliage has more silver markings, and its star-shaped, pink blooms stand atop stalks up to 18" tall. Asexual propagation of 'Viking Ship' is prohibited.
