Heuchera

Description

A shade-tolerant perennial with colourful foliage in a range of tones — purple, bronze, lime green, silver, and more depending on variety. Tall, slender flower stems carry tiny bell-shaped blooms in white, pink, or cream from late spring through summer.

Grows in part shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. Works well as a border plant, accent piece, or mass-planted under trees. The foliage provides year-round colour interest in shaded Melbourne gardens.
