Description
Northern Exposure Silver Heuchera is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage. The round-lobed leaves emerge burgundy and becomes heavily frosted with silver. Airy clusters of tiny creamy pink bell-like flowers bloom on dark red spires in summer attracting butterflies. Blooms best in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. The Northern Exposure series is rust resistant.
