In the garden
Heuchera 'Cappuccino' is a named selection within the genus Heuchera (family Saxifragaceae). Members of this genus are generally grown as perennial ornamentals and are recognised for their clumping habit and lobed leaves; cultivars carry distinct trade names to denote selected foliage or flower characteristics. Heuchera 'Cappuccino' follows the group's seasonal pattern by producing flowers in the UK between May and August. Preferences and appearance can differ between Heuchera cultivars, so consult the plant label or supplier notes for particulars on light exposure, soil type and hardiness for 'Cappuccino'. Where full cultivar details are unavailable, choose a position that suits a foliage-led perennial and avoid prolonged waterlogging. Many Heuchera selections respond well to routine deadheading of spent flower stalks to keep the clump tidy and to permit energy to remain in the crown for next season's growth. Use the plant's flower period when planning seasonal displays: with blooms expected from May to August, 'Cappuccino' can contribute to late spring and summer colour alongside other perennials. Check supplier information for precise foliage and ultimate size so you can site the plant with appropriate neighbours and spacing; the flowering window for 'Cappuccino' is May to August.
