Heuchera Living Wreath

posted on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 by Kelly

Yay!  Spring is here!  I have been dreaming of making this living wreath all winter. It includes an assortment of vibrantly colored Heuchera’s including, ‘Citronella’, ‘Miracle’, ‘Tiramisu’, ‘Kassandra’, ‘Stainless Steel’, ‘Caramel’, ‘Dales Stain’, ‘Palace Purple’ and adorable purple pansies.  Each plant will grow and fill in the frame to create a kaleidoscope of color from spring until fall.  I am so excited!   Happy Spring!
