Heucherella Make Perfect Partner Plants For Acers

Acer Palmatum the Japaneses maples are about to look fantastic. Why not under plant them with equally fantastic foliage. 

Compliment your beautiful acer with a ground cover foliage plant.

If you have a deep red acer palmatum what better than Heucherella Tapestry. A great plant in shade or semi shade. The deep veining on the Heucherella tones with the rich red foliage growing above it can be a winning combination. The limey green tones of the leave coupled with the dark red veins planted under dark red foliage make a perfect outfit. Heucherella is easy to grow and makes good ground cover.  The pretty pink flower spires are a bonus.This combination would also be effective with red cotinus and the red winter cornus bark.
