Heuchera 'Delta Dawn' has been a splendid performer in our garden, despite our intense summer heat and humidity. For us, Heuchera 'Delta Dawn' makes a large clump 1' tall x 30" wide, topped in June with 2' tall spikes of tiny white flowers. The large leaves of this Heuchera villosa hybrid are chartreuse in summer. When temperatures cool the leaf veins turn bright red, eventually filling the entire center of the leaf with a solid reddish bronze color, while the edge remains chartreuse...a truly amazing combination! We have not found Heuchera 'Delta Dawn' to color up as well in shade, so 1-3 hours of sun, preferably in the morning, is preferred.
