Abstract
A new and distinct hybrid of Heuchera plant characterized by large leaves colored pink-orange shades in the spring and early summer changing to burgundy-pink shades in the fall and winter, strongly veiled foliage, cream colored flowers on reddish peduncles, excellent vigor, excellent tolerance to heat and humidity.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heuchera hybrid.
Variety designation: ‘Georgia Peach’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera hybrid and given the cultivar name of ‘Georgia Peach’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Georgia Peach’ originated from a cross between Heuchera V3, a proprietary non commercial H. villosa hybrid, as the seed parent, and Heuchera 647-5, a proprietary non commercial plant, as the pollen parent.
This new Heuchera is distinguished by:
-
- 1. Large leaves colored pink-orange shades in the spring and early summer changing to burgundy-pink shades in the fall and winter.
- 2. Strongly veiled foliage.
- 3. Cream colored flowers on reddish peduncles.
- 4. Excellent vigor.
- 5. Excellent tolerance to heat and humidity.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may change with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heuchera cultivar based on observations taken in May of a two-year-old specimen growing in the ground in the trial bed under high shade and with added irrigation in the summer months in Canby, Oreg. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.

Compared to the seed parent, V-3, the new hybrid has leaves that are in warm, bright shades of peach to burgundy rather than dull amber to olive green shades.
Compared to the pollen parent 647-5, the new hybrid has leaves that are large rather than medium in size and in shades of warm, bright peach to burgundy rather than rose purple.
Compared to Heuchera ‘Peach Flambé’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,195) the new variety has a much different leaf color, pale ale to tan to olive green with a heavy silver white veil compared to an amber to olive green tone. The leaves of the new variety are larger and unruffled.
