Abstract
A new and distinct Heucherella plant substantially as shown and described, characterized by bright rose orange spring leaves with maroon along the main veins, summer color of rusty orange to rusty brown and tan with darker veins, fall and winter color of red brown with maroon veins, large, distinctive, palmately lobed leaves, large plant size, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heucherella hybrid.
Variety designation: ‘Sweet Tea’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heucherella and given the cultivar name of ‘Sweet Tea’. Heucherella is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heucherella ‘Sweet Tea’ originated from a controlled cross between Heuchera ‘V3’ (a proprietary unreleased Heuchera villosa hybrid), as the seed parent, and massed selected Tiarella, as the pollen parent. The offspring were extremely variable and interesting. This is the second selected variety.
This new Heucherella is unique in its coloration. There are no other varieties of this coloration known to the breeder. It is distinguished by:
-
- 1. bright rose orange spring leaves with maroon along the main veins,
- 2. summer color of rusty orange to rusty brown and tan with darker veins,
- 3. fall and winter color of red brown with maroon veins,
- 4. large, distinctive, palmately lobed leaves,
- 5. large plant size, and
- 6. excellent vigor.
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 vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heucherella cultivar based on observations of a two-year-old specimen growing in a 2 gallon container in a shade house 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, 1999 edition.

Compared to the pollen parent, one of a Tiarella mass, the new variety has rose orange foliage in spring to rust orange in summer rather than green.
There are no similar colored Heucherella on the market.
