HEUCHERA villosa Carnival Watermelon

Heuchera villosa ‘Carnival Watermelon’ forms a compact, low mound of foliage ideal for the front of borders, containers and rock gardens. Best in light shade, it prefers a moist but well‑drained, moderately fertile soil and steady moisture, avoiding waterlogging. Slender stems may carry airy sprays of small flowers in summer. A reliable, fully hardy perennial in Ireland with a moderate growth rate; remove faded flower stems and any tired leaves to keep clumps neat. Mature clumps typically reach around 25–30cm tall and 30–45cm wide.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
