Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: This is a beautiful Heuchera with dark purple, glossy, ruffled semi-evergreen leaves. It has small light pink to white flowers which appear on tall, dark stems in the early summer. These dark, rich colors contrast well with variegated, gray-green and golden foliage plants. This plant can be evergreen, but in harsh winters it might die back and come up from the roots the next year.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Evergreen
Plant Care: Perennial - Evergreen (soft-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. To avoid winter stress, wait until spring to identify what portions of the plant are still alive and then remove the rest.
Special Considerations: Heucheras may respond better to having the dead foliage pulled out rather than cut back.
