Prized for its foliage colors and textures.  Heuchera adds color and interest to the shade garden.  Foliage typically comes in hues of silver, burgundy, peach, pink, red, chartreuse, and purple with contrasting veining.  Tiny, bell shaped flowers appear above the foliage in late spring-mid summer.  Low growing, mounding habit.  Perfect choise for borders, containers, rock gardens, and mass plantings.
