Heuchera 'Fire Chief'

Heuchera ‘Fire Chief’ forms a compact mound of red foliage that deepens to maroon as leaves mature. Dark stems carry bicolor pink and white bells above the leaves. ## Garden placement Use it near a border’s front, in groups, or in a container. Terra Nova lists a 9-inch foliage height, 15-inch spread, and 18-inch flower stems; the plant is hardy in USDA zones 4–9. Full sun can work in cool-summer climates, while part shade is a useful default in warmer sites. Plant in organic, well-drained soil and avoid keeping the crown wet. ## Seasonal character The foliage supplies color beyond bloom, including winter interest. Combine the red leaves with softer green or silver foliage for contrast.

Water regularly while the plant establishes, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
