Heuchera is an undemanding perennial that stands out for its interestingly colored leaves. Originally from the woodland and rocky areas of North America, it naturally grows in the understory beneath trees. That is why it will thrive best in your gardens in partial shade or shade, where it will bring color throughout the entire season. The great thing about these plants is that their striking leaves brighten up even those places where many other flowers would struggle. Different varieties offer a wide palette of colors, from fresh green and amber to silvery tones, and they also bloom with tiny flowers on long stems. For successful growth, all Heucheras need is well-draining, slightly moist, and loamy soil. Once rooted, they become a reliable part of any shady flowerbed.
