HEUCHERA Paris

Description and Characteristics

Heuchera ‘Paris’ is a compact, long-flowering evergreen perennial known for its striking combination of ornamental foliage and extended blooming season. Part of the City Series of Heuchera cultivars, 'Paris' offers both beautiful silvery foliage and a profusion of bright pink flower spikes that persist for months, making it ideal for gardeners seeking season-long interest and pollinator support.

The plant forms a tidy mound of medium-sized, lobed green leaves with a heavy silver overlay and contrasting dark veining, giving it a marbled appearance. The foliage remains attractive year-round in milder climates, with subtle seasonal shifts in colour.

What sets 'Paris' apart is its remarkably long flowering period. From late spring through autumn, it produces a succession of bright coral-pink, bell-shaped flowers on slender stems that rise well above the foliage. These blooms are a favourite among bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

Heuchera ‘Paris’ typically grows to about 25–30 cm tall and 30–40 cm wide, with flower stems reaching up to 50–60 cm, making it perfect for edging, containers, and pollinator gardens.

• Compact and clump-forming: 25–30 cm high, 30–40 cm wide

• Extended flowering: May to October

• Attractive to bees, butterflies, and hoverflies

Growing Conditions and Maintenance

Heuchera ‘Paris’ is low-maintenance, thriving in partial shade and fertile, well-drained soils. Its flowering performance and foliage colour both benefit from the right balance of light and moisture.

• Light Requirements:

  • Performs best in partial shade

  • Tolerates morning sun or filtered light

  • Too much shade may reduce flowering; too much sun may fade or scorch foliage

• Soil Preferences:

  • Prefers moist, well-drained, fertile soil

  • Grows well in neutral to slightly acidic soil

  • Avoid heavy, soggy soils—add grit or organic matter for drainage

• Watering Needs:

  • Water regularly during the first growing season

  • Once established, keep moderately moist, especially in summer

  • In containers, monitor soil closely and avoid drying out

• Feeding:

  • Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser in spring

  • Use liquid feed monthly for potted plants during the growing season

• Pruning and Maintenance:

  • Remove faded flower spikes to encourage further blooming

  • Cut back dead or damaged foliage in early spring to refresh the plant

  • Divide every 3–4 years in spring or autumn to maintain vigour

• Winter Care:

  • Hardy in Zones 4–9 (RHS H5–H6)

  • Evergreen in mild winters; semi-evergreen in colder regions

  • Apply mulch in late autumn to protect the crown from frost
