Terra Nova Nurseries unveiled Heuchera Little Cuties “Coco Loco,” the latest addition to the Heuchera Little Cuties Series. The new variety’s compact proportions make it well-suited for mixed containers, patio centerpieces and winter houseplant arrangements.
Heuchera Little Cuties “Coco Loco,” an improved evolution of Terra Nova’s Little Cuties “Coco,” delivers a noticeably better habit, richer flowers, a longer bloom window and stronger overall performance than its predecessor. It features silky, chocolate-colored foliage and charming pink-to-white blooms that rise above its leaves with brilliant color and longevity. “Coco Loco” blooms from May through October, and its showy, long-lasting blooms are particularly appealing to hummingbirds and other pollinators.
“Coco Loco” grows most actively in spring, performing best in partial shade to full sun, and reaches a height of 5 inches, width of 6 inches and flower height of 8 inches. It should be moderately dry between waterings during finishing time in greenhouses and kept in moderately well-drained, organic soil once planted in the garden. Finishing growers can expect the finish time from a liner to a 4-inch pot to be six to eight weeks; finish time from a liner to a 1-gallon pot is 10-12 weeks. USDA Hardiness Zones for this sweet addition to Terra Nova’s Heuchera Little Cuties Series are 4-9.
Terra Nova Nurseries has created a “Plant Profile” page and “Grower Recipe” specific to this new variety and others, so growers interested in orders can learn about growing habits, plant characteristics, fertilization recommendations, water requirements and other insights provided by the breeding team.
