Heuchera ‘Lime Rickey’
Consistently one of our top selling Heuchera. Lime-green to chartreuse ruffled foliage provide multi-seasonal interest in both gardens and mixed containers. This refreshing color is the perfect contrast plant allowing it to play well with many purple-leaved plants. A vigorous grower which is topped with thousands of small pure white flowers in spring. Makes a great house plant.
