Nothing to complain about. Magnificent heuchera with large leaves of a very pretty changing colour. It is currently blooming for the 2nd consecutive year. I left it in a pot, next to congeners of different colours and it is a breathtaking sight.

Description
The Heucherella 'Red Rover' brings the much-needed red colour to these beautiful perennials born from the marriage of heuchera and tiarella: with its astonishing deeply lobed foliage of a shiny purple in spring and winter, this perennial brings life to borders and flowering pots with panache! Its large leaves turn olive green in summer, while its long purple flowering stems adorned with white-cream bell-shaped flowers appear. It is a hardy and tolerant plant in terms of exposure, but thrives only in soils that remain cool and preferably non-calcareous.
The Heucherella 'Red Rover' belongs, like its ancestors Heuchera villosa and Tiarella, to the family of Saxifragaceae. It has inherited the qualities of these two plants: the spectacular foliage of heuchera and the abundant flowering as well as the superior robustness of tiarella. It is an evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial, growing in low and compact clumps. At maturity, it reaches 20 cm (8in) in height (for foliage), 60 cm (24in) in flower, and 50 cm (0 and 20in) in width. The leaves measure 5 to 12 cm (2 to 5in) in diameter. The first leaves, those that emerge in spring, are narrower and often consist of a single narrow lobe resembling a finger. They give way to large, rather round leaves, divided into 5 to 7 narrow and toothed lobes, with prominent veins. Their colour changes from purple-pink to coppery red in spring, then to olive green tinged with purple as temperatures rise. Their undersides retain their purple colour. The very long-lasting flowers of this 'Red Rover' variety appear in June-July, grouped in dense spikes, carried by thin and hairy stems, tinged with pink-purple, reaching a height of 60-70 cm (24-28in). This white-cream flowering in tiny bells gives an impression of foam.
The Heucherella 'Red Rover' appreciates wooded environments with a humid atmosphere and proves to be less sensitive than heuchera to the combination of heat and humidity. This variety also tolerates sunnier exposures, for example along a shaded path in the afternoon. It can also be used as a waterside plant, associated with ribbons of bergenia and Carex oshimensis, for the contrast of foliage. It will also thrive in sheltered containers or planters away from direct sunlight. It pairs well with astilbes, Caucasian forget-me-nots (Brunnera), or meadowsweets (Filipendula). It is also a good border plant to surround hydrangeas and camellias, for perennial borders, or in a rock garden, always away from the scorching sun.

Planting and care
Easy to maintain, the 'Red Rover' Heucherella thrives in all moist to wet, well-drained soils, preferably neutral to acidic. It can be planted in partial shade or dense shade (although the foliage colour may be less vibrant in this case). Morning sun is well tolerated, especially in cool soil. It is essential to avoid full sun, especially in the afternoon. Plant it in loose soil that retains moisture, and consider adding a mulch. It does not tolerate very hot conditions and appreciates high humidity. Once established, this perennial seems to tolerate the often dry shade under trees and bushes in the summer. It requires little maintenance, and pruning is only necessary in case of damaged foliage or for rejuvenation purposes.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
