notes
Evergreen may be slightly a misnomer for Heuchera 'Northern Exposure Amber' as it glows orange year-round, not green! This robust, clump forming perennial brings colour and texture to the border. Ideal as ground cover or planted as a foil against vivid, lime-coloured Hostas and Ferns, it bears delicate soft orange flowers on tall, slender stems in summer. These flowers add a pretty lacy detail to cut flower arrangements; left in situ they draw native pollinators to the garden.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 3L
- Height and Spread: 50cm (1ft 7in) x W: 50cm (1ft 7in)
