Companion Plants: Plant FYRE WING™ 'Jadeite' in a moist bed in sun or part shade with light blue daisies and pink plumes. Kalimeris 'Blue Star' adds light blue daisies at 30 to 45 cm from June to September. Filipendula 'Elegans' brings fragrant pink plumes at 45 to 75 cm from June to August. Persicaria 'Firetail' adds crimson bottlebrush spikes at 90 to 120 cm from July to September. Deschampsia 'Goldschleier' fills in with fine blades and golden flower clouds at 60 to 90 cm.

Plant Care: Plant in well-drained soil with some compost, keeping the crown level with the soil. Avoid soggy clay over winter. Water regularly in the first season and during dry spells, and give it some afternoon shade in hot, exposed spots. Snip off spent flower stems. Clean up winter-worn leaves in early spring. A light mulch after planting helps keep frost from lifting 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 collection of lace-leaf heucheras, named for gems and minerals, and jadeite is one of the two minerals sold as jade. The parent species, Heuchera villosa, or hairy alumroot, is native to the eastern United States, and that hairiness shows in these fuzzy leaves.

Final Thoughts: Plant it along a path where hands can find it. Vigorous, deer resistant and low maintenance. PETTING ZOO, NO ADMISSION.
