Summary
Heuchera ‘Pinot Gris’ has spring foliage that emerges rose colored and fades to pale lime-green. As the season progresses the colors change to a mix of champagne and pale lime-green. ‘Pinot Gris’ was a vigorous cultivar with a dense habit. Its floral display was quite attractive with a large quantity of light-pink flowers that complemented the foliage color well. Unfortunately, ‘Pinot Gris’ suffered from disease problems during its second and third years of the trial. In 2013, Cercospora leaf spot was a significant problem starting in early summer. In 2014, root/stem rot was a concern all but one plant. When grown in full sun, ‘Pinot Gris’ experienced significant burning and discoloration, and is thus recommended for part shade – full shade conditions.
