Heucherella ‘Pink Stardust’
Silvery, mint green foliage is crowned with a bright pink star shower each spring and summer. Large, unusual star shaped flowers are held on sturdy stems that keep coming for months. This totally sterile and rust free plant will shine in a forest woodland or on sunny patio. Excellent habit, too. A joy in mixed containers.
