Heuchera villosa ‘Chantilly’ Description

Heuchera villosa ‘Chantilly’ is a vigorous clump-forming perennial with broad, softly hairy green leaves and tall branching stems of creamy-white flowers. The airy blooms appear from midsummer into autumn, later than many other heucheras, and create a graceful haze above the foliage. Mature plants generally reach around 40 to 50cm in leaf, with flower stems extending considerably higher. Grow in partial shade in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains consistently moist but drains freely. Its villosa parentage gives good tolerance of humidity and warm summer conditions, while the plant remains fully hardy in Ireland. Remove spent flower stems and tired leaves as necessary. Avoid burying the crown and divide older clumps if they become excessively woody or congested.
