Description

Heuchera 'Canyon Delight' is one of a series of Heuchera's introduced by Dara Emery (Santa Barbara Botanical Garden). This hybrid is small with a 1" x 1" green leaf and deep pink flower. The plant itself (without flowers) grows 4-6"H x 6-12"W and performs best in drier shady conditions. It will tolerant regular water but in well drained soil. Be weary of mealy bugs and ants. Very effective when planted in mass. Little to no care other than removal of dead flowers after bloom.
