Heuchera are grown predominantly for their leaf colour but produce slender stems of flowers in the summer that are attractive to butterflies. This easy to grow perennial is tolerant of many different growing conditions including full sun, shade, drought and seaside locations. Grow in any fertile, well drained soil. Evergreen in mild winters but tidy damaged leaves in the spring and divide clumps every 3-4 years to encourage vibrant young growth. Good resistance to damage by deer and rabbits. Be careful not to bury the crowns when planting.
The slender purple flower stems are covered with small creamy-white flowers from May to July contrasting with the unusual, attractive, burnished black, roundly lobed leaves which are spotted with hot pink. The fascinating spots enlarge then fade to cream as the season progresses. The underside of the leaves are a contrasting pinkish-red. Lighter leaves in summer. Best in partial shade. Height 30cm (12ins) x 40cm (16ins)
