'Peach Flambe' literally glows bright peach in spring in summer before turning plum-purple in winter. The leaves are also infused with flaming red, hence its common name. This selection differs from 'Marmalade' and 'Amber Waves' by having larger, smoother, more brightly colored leaves. It grows vigorously into a medium-sized plant. White flowers are produced in spring. 'Peach Flambe' PP17195 is a versatile heuchera; it looks great both in the garden and in combination container plantings.
Easy to grow average soil; Heucheras will perform best in organically rich, humus, medium wet, well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Performs well in full sun in the north, but prefers some afternoon shade in the south. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is particularly important. They grow most vigorously and have the strongest colors when grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade). They can also be grown in full shade but their growth rate will be very slow.
Coral bells are easy to grow and blend easily with most other perennials in the landscape. Because of their low, mounding habit, they are often used as edging along paths or in containers. Remove stems of faded flowers to encourage additional bloom. Foliage is essentially evergreen in warm winter climates, but the amount of retained foliage color in cold winter climates depends upon the temperatures. In cold winter climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving. Clumps may be divided in the spring every 3 to 4 years .
