Moderate-growing evergreen perennial to 14-18” tall and wide. More heat and humidity tolerant than many Heuchera this attractive variety forms a uniform mound of showy bronzy-reddish-purple leaves accented with arching sprays of dainty white flowers that rise above the showy foliage in summer attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Great as a low-growing border as a filler between shrubs or in mixed flower beds or containers. The deep foliage color of this attractive variety make it a popular choice for contrasting with lighter colored shrubs and perennials. Prefers regular watering a well-drained soil and a filtered sun to partial shade exposure. Requires some protection from hot afternoon sun in warmer inland climates.
