Heuchera Melting Fire is an herbaceous perennial grown for its impressive flowers and colourful foliage. Flower spikes carrying small, white, bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage in summer. The leaves emerge in spring coloured bright crimson and mature to dark purple in summer as it grows to 75 cm tall and the same wide. Heuchera Melting Fire is commonly used for adding colour, to contrast with other plant colours, grown in a container, included in borders, or added to a mixed planting.

Heuchera Melting Fire care

Heuchera Melting Fire is a compact, clump-forming perennial prized for its crinkled, apple-green foliage and neat, mounding habit. It thrives in partial shade to full shade, though it can tolerate some morning sun, especially in cooler climates. Plant it in well-draining, humus-rich soil, and keep the soil consistently moist but not sodden. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first year after planting. Mulching will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Heuchera Melting Fire requires a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to keep it sustained. Remove spent flower stems and damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy.

Heuchera Melting Fire uses

Heuchera Melting Fire is primarily used for its striking foliage and compact form, making it a versatile and decorative plant in many landscape settings. It is ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and underplanting beneath trees or larger shrubs, where its ruffled, lime-green leaves brighten darker areas. Its tidy, mounding habit also makes it perfect for edging garden beds, lining pathways, or adding texture and colour contrast in mixed perennial plantings. This cultivar is also well-suited to container gardening, where it can be showcased on patios, decks, or in courtyard gardens. Because of its evergreen or semi-evergreen foliage (depending on the climate), it provides year-round interest. Additionally, Heuchera Melting Fire is often used in mass plantings for ground cover in shaded areas and pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and other shade-loving perennials. Its delicate white flower spikes add seasonal charm, attracting pollinators like bees, though its main appeal lies in its ornamental foliage.
