About Heuchera 'Georgia Peach'

Heuchera 'Georgia Peach' · also called Coral Bells 'Georgia Peach', Alumroot 'Georgia Peach' · flowering

Heuchera 'Georgia Peach' is a popular perennial prized for its large, peachy-pink to reddish-orange foliage with a distinctive silver overlay that catches the light. Delicate creamy-white flowers appear in early summer. One of the larger-leaved Heucheras; excellent as a bold container specimen or front-of-border accent in partial shade. Vigorous and reliable.

Mature size: 35-45 cm tall (foliage); flower stems to 60 cm

Indoor size vs how big it gets in the wild

Heuchera 'Georgia Peach' grows into a room-scaled plant of roughly 35-45 cm tall (foliage) — bigger than a tabletop plant, but not a tree. Indoors and in a pot, expect 35-45 cm tall (foliage). In the ground with no restriction it is a completely different plant — flower stems to 60 cm — which is why the pot, the light and the pruning matter so much for the size you actually end up with.

It builds steadily in both height and spread to a medium, manageable size, filling a pot and a corner over a few years.

Growth rate and years to mature

Heuchera 'Georgia Peach' is a fast grower. Realistically, expect two to four years from a young plant to a room-filling specimen in good light. Its feeding profile backs this up: apply a balanced slow-release granular fertiliser in early spring. given the vigorous, large-leaved habit, a monthly dilute liquid balanced feed from april to july is beneficial. a dilute potassium-rich feed in june helps intensify the warm peachy tones in the foliage.
