The Story
Plant Bio
Heuchera are clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennials primarily grown for their colorful and often ruffled, rounded or lobed foliage. They produce tall, slender stems (scapes) bearing panicles of small, bell-shaped flowers. Distinguished by its large, ruffled leaves that emerge a vibrant apricot-peach in spring, maturing to chartreuse with a silver overlay in summer. The color changes with the seasons.
