Insights
The Heuchera is native to North America, where it is given the common name ‘alum root’. It is named after an 18th-century professor at Wittenberg University, Johann Heinrich von Heucher. Easy to grow, with long lasting colour and very cold hardy, it’s a great addition to the border or container.
