The parent plant of this variety is nothing other than the same species that made 'Palace Purple' Heuchera.

Non-invasive and not at all demanding, this little beauty was my first Heuchera. It has lovely orangy-golden colored leaves, with a darker underside. I have it growing as ground cover near my giant hosta, and it has done nicely in my mostly shady clay soil. I would estimate that in summer it gets 2-4 hours of direct sun. I don't remember its flowers, it may not have flowered at all (I've had it for about 7 months). I understand that this plant is an evergreen (or in this case, evergold), so far it has held up to light frost.
