A vigorous, widely clumping heuchera with broad leaves. This one seems to glow from a distance! The new leaves are deep maroon-purple, while the older ones are deep plum purple with darker veining. The fine hairs which cover the leaves catch the light, giving them a "frosted" appearance. The plum-colored undersides exhibit the same characteristic. These colors intensify with the cool fall weather. This selection produces 30 inch flower scapes lined with dainty flowers that look like pink seed pearls.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:
Well suited for rock gardens, edging, as well as can provide a charming cut flower. They require a neutral pH, humus rich soil, good drainage, and full sun or semi-shade. Heuchera will suffer from long periods of drought, deep cold or snow less winters without some kind of protection. Shearing off any damaged leaves in early spring will make room for vibrant new foliage. Occasionally in northern regions, heucheras have a tendancy to heave out of the ground because of the freeze/thaw cycle. To combat heaving, add an extra layer of compost around the plant's roots in the fall. In the spring, if the plants have heaved at all, the new roots will grow into the fresh new layer of compost.
