x Heucherella is a hybrid perennial first bred by Emile Lemoine in France in 1912. It is a cross between coral bells (heuchera) and foam flower (tiarella). So it made sense to have combined these common names into foamy bells, how uncanny!
Sunrise Falls® is a foamy bells variety which makes very attractive leaves of striking lime green colour, boldly veined crimson red. They gain rich pink shades in autumn and winter and persist until spring in mild winters of zones 5 and up, decorating the garden with lime green, crimson red and rich pink colours. Continuously, from May until September or even October, 20-25 cm long, thin stems are produced that hold tiny white flowers which last for about 2 weeks. Sunrise Falls® is the very first variety of trailing habit and was bred by Janet Egger from Terra Nova Nurseries, USA, in 2011 (US patent PP23666 issued in 2013).
Foamy bells do best in neutral to lightly acid, evenly moist soil that is medium fertile to humus-rich, and importantly constantly moist. Dry soil will most probably result in scorched foliage. Full sun or part shade are best, full shade is tolerated while colours may not perform to their best. Most varieties keep their foliage nice through winter, yet we recommend removing old leaves in order to encourage production of healthy new foliage in spring. Fully hardy to abt. -34°C (USDA zone 4) and can be grown in outdoor pots.
