Positive primrosepath On Mar 7, 2003, primrosepath wrote:

This is a lovely, vigorous coralbell with relatively large pink flowers. It is a primary hybrid of H. x brizoides with the eastern US native Heuchera pubescens. The green-leaved hybrids are being eclipsed by the more flashy new bronze-foliaged forms, but they deserve to be more widely grown. The name "Larenim" refers to Larenim Park in Mineral Co., WV, where seed of the H. pubescens parent was collected in the mide '80s.
