Insights
Heuchera is native to North America, where it is given the common name ‘alumroot’. It is named after an 18th-century professor at Wittenberg University, Joahann Heinrich von Heucher. Especially useful due to its tolerance of shade, use it to magical effect as a companion plant to Hostas and Ferns or for underplanting shrubs.

From June to August, delicate pink flowers held on fine stems above foliage.
