Variety traits

Trailing habit — ×Heucherella H. R. Wehrh.

x Heucherella H. R. Wehrh.

The trailing habit in ×Heucherella is a selectively fixed growth form in which shoots elongate and grow downwards or laterally, resulting in a creeping or cascading habit.

In the reference 3 varieties crop Foamy bells, where this is mentioned in the description.

In contrast to classic rosette forms, which are characterized by a compact and upright habit, trailing ×Heucherella cultivars are capable of producing stems that hang down or creep along the surface. This trait is a key architectural feature of series such as 'Falls', where the shoots exhibit a distinct horizontal orientation.

Trailing habit is assessed qualitatively by describing the growth habit as "creeping" or "cascading." An indirect quantitative indicator is the ratio of plant height to spread, as specified in the cultivar descriptions. Such plants are sought after as ampelous crops for hanging baskets and containers, or as groundcover forms that require consideration of the spreading area when planting.
