This Dara Emery hybrid of Heuchera 'Canyon Delight' and Heuchera elegans (SBBG# 93-182) was released in 2001 as part of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden Heuchera Canyon Quartet Series. In their book "Heuchera and Heucherellas: Coral Bells and Foamy Bells" Timber Press 2005 authors Dan Heims and Grahame Ware note that Linnaeus named Heuchera for Johann Heinrich von Heucher, professor of medicine and Botany at Wittenberg University. They further note that the name Heuchera should be pronounced following the person's name it commemorates so the proper pronunciation is HOY-ker-uh. We grew this cultivar from 1999 until 2004.More information on this plant can be found on the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden's Plant Introduction Page.  The information on this webpage is based on research conducted about this plant in our nursery library, from online sources, as well as from observations made of it as it grows in the nursery in containers, in the nursery's garden and in other gardens where we have observed it growing.
