Abstract

The new and distinct hybrid of Heuchera plant named ‘Timeless Treasure’ with many small to medium-sized, shallowly lobed, glossy leaves with rounded apices and lobes. Tightly-branched, upright, burgundy flower stems are repeatedly produced from early summer to early fall for about fourteen weeks displaying large, rosy-pink flowers. The new plant has a compact, herbaceous perennial habit with mounds of leaves beginning the season purplish-red and developing a light silvery-gray overlay between the greyed purple surrounding the veins. It is vigorous and produces showy flowers over a long season, effective as a specimen plant, en masse in the landscape, or as a container plant.
