Heuchera FYRE WING™ 'Amber': Honey-Gold Lace That Deepens to Copper

Plant Characteristics:

• Botanical Name: Heuchera villosa 'Amber'
• Common Name: Coral Bells

Where to Plant: Plant it at the front of a border, in a container, or in drifts where its warm colour can lighten a dark corner. Its fine, lacy texture shows best where you can see it up close.

Companion Plants: Use FYRE WING™ 'Amber' at the front of a moist bed in sun or part shade with soft yellow foxgloves and blue monkshood. Campanula 'Rapido White' adds white bells at 15 to 20 cm from June to September. Digitalis grandiflora brings pale yellow foxglove bells at 60 to 90 cm from June to August. Aconitum fischeri adds deep blue hoods at 45 to 60 cm in August and September. Miscanthus Mystal™ 'Fire Dragon' rises behind at 180 to 210 cm in bloom.

Plant Care: Plant in well-drained soil with some compost, keeping the crown level with the soil. Avoid soggy clay, especially in winter. Water regularly in the first season and during dry spells. Some afternoon shade helps keep the colour clean in hot, exposed spots. Snip spent flower stems. Trim off winter-damaged leaves in early spring. Mulch lightly after planting so frost doesn't lift the crown. Divide every few years if the clump gets woody.

History: Terra Nova Nurseries introduced the FYRE WING™ series in 2026 as the world's first lace-leaf heuchera collection, naming each plant for a gem or mineral. Amber is fossilized tree resin, with the same honey-gold glow as these spring leaves.

Final Thoughts: Give it a sunny spot where you can watch the colours turn. The deer leave it alone. AGED TO PERFECTION.
