About Heuchera 'Peach Flambe'

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

Heuchera 'Peach Flambe' is a colourful evergreen perennial with ruffled leaves in warm peach, apricot, and bronze tones that intensify with cool autumn temperatures. Slender wands of creamy flowers appear in summer. It thrives in part shade and well-drained soil and is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to pets and children.

Mature size: 25-35 cm tall, 35-45 cm wide

Watch for — Slugs and snails: Young spring foliage is especially vulnerable; use grit, copper tape, or wildlife-safe pellets around emerging growth.

Indoor size vs how big it gets in the wild

Heuchera 'Peach Flambe' grows into a room-scaled plant of roughly 25-35 cm tall, 35-45 cm wide — bigger than a tabletop plant, but not a tree. Indoors and in a pot, expect 25-35 cm tall, 35-45 cm wide. A pot, your light levels and a little pruning are what set the final size in a home, far more than the plant's theoretical potential.

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 'Peach Flambe' is a moderate grower. Realistically, expect three to six years to reach mature indoor size, gaining a steady amount each growing season. Its feeding profile backs this up: feed with a balanced granular fertiliser in early spring. supplement with a half-strength balanced liquid feed once in early summer to prolong the flowering period. avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, which produce soft, lush growth that detracts from the warm autumn colouring.
