Heuchera 'Peach Smoothie'

Heuchera 'Peach Smoothie' forms a broad mound of large, bold leaves in peach, coral, cherry, and orange shades. Terra Nova lists white flowers in May and June, USDA zones 4–9, foliage about 12 inches tall by 16 inches wide, and flower stems to 20 inches ([cultivar details](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/heuchera-peach-smoothie/)). ## Garden Use The warm foliage works as a color contrast among green perennials or as a focal mound in a mixed container. Terra Nova describes strong full-sun performance while also listing part shade, and reports that the foliage stayed rust-free during a wet spring trial. The cultivar received a 2024 UGA Trial Gardens Plants of Distinction award. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun or part shade in moderately well-drained, organic soil. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water as needed rather than leaving the crown saturated; Terra Nova recommends average garden water and a slightly drier setting once established. Leave about 16 inches for the foliage mound, plus room for its taller flower stems. The breeder's [2023–2024 supplement](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/other/catalogs/Terra_Nova_2023_2024_Supplement.pdf) records the same zone range, dimensions, and mounding habit. ## Maintenance In early spring, remove damaged foliage and clear away old flower stems. Keep the crown at the soil surface, and reset it if the woody base rises above the surrounding soil.
