Heuchera 'Zipper' is a 2015 Terra Nova introduction that combines the heat tolerance of Heuchera villosa with the heavy leaf ruffling from the more cold-loving coral bells. The result is a compact 8" tall x 15" wide clump of insanely ruffled leaves that emerge burgundy, then gradually become suffused with orange as they age. The deeply ruffled foliage allows the burgundy leaf backs to continue to show as the leaf tops mature to orange...an amazing combination. The 18" stalks of flowers in late spring are okay, but we grow this for the evergreen foliage.
