Description
Heucherella 'Cracked Ice' is a hybrid between Heuchera and Tiarella, combining the best of both parents in a highly successful variety. This recent selection forms a low, evergreen cushion of deeply lobed leaves, with a frosty blue-green colour, veined with dark purple. In autumn, it takes on a delightful silver-pink tone, which is truly fascinating. Its delicate and abundant spring flowering consists of panicles of white flowers carried on slender stems. This vigorous, compact, healthy, and easy-to-grow variety is an excellent perennial for shaded and cool areas of the garden or in undergrowth.
Heucherella 'Cracked Ice' belongs, like its ancestors Heuchera and Tiarella, to the Saxifragaceae family. It has inherited the qualities of these two plants: the spectacular foliage of the Heuchera and the abundant flowering and superior robustness of the Tiarella. 'Cracked Ice' was obtained by Terra Nova, a North American nursery specialising in the creation of new cultivars of Heuchera, Heucherella, and Tiarella, with increasingly surprising colours and remarkable vigour.
It is a perennial plant that forms a low and compact clump. At maturity, it reaches about 20 cm (8 in) in height and 40 cm (16 in) in spread. The leaves measure 4 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) in diameter. The first leaves, which emerge in spring, are narrower. They give way to large, rather round and deeply palmate leaves that resemble those of a maple, with a silvery green-blue colour and strongly marked veins coloured in dark purple. With the arrival of cold weather, 'Cracked Ice' takes on a soft and luminous silver-pink colour. The very long-lasting flowers appear in April-May and last until the beginning of summer, grouped in condensed spikes carried on thin and hairy stems about 50 cm (20 in) tall. These white flowers have a foam-like appearance.
Heucherella 'Cracked Ice' appreciates wooded environments with a humid atmosphere. It will naturally find its place in moist woodland alongside ferns, Impatiens balfouri, Solomon's seals, and astilbes. It is also a good plant for perennial borders or in a rockery, always in shade. It can also be used as a waterside plant. It will also thrive in containers or sheltered planters away from direct sunlight. In this case, it should be planted in a well-drained potting mix without excess fertiliser, with watering carefully monitored in summer and reduced in winter. Pots will need protection against cold winter winds.

Planting and care
Easy to maintain, Heucherella 'Cracked Ice' thrives in all types of moist to wet, well-drained, neutral to acidic soils. It can be planted in partial shade or dense shade (although the foliage colour may be less vibrant). It is essential to avoid full sun. You should plant it in loose soil that retains moisture, and consider using mulch. It does not tolerate very hot conditions and prefers high humidity. Once established, this perennial seems to tolerate dry shade under trees and bushes. It requires minimal maintenance and pruning is not necessary except for damaged foliage or rejuvenation.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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.
