Versatile, colorful Heuchera adds dramatic color to a multitude of settings from flower beds and mixed borders to porch and patio containers. Dark purple, almost black, leaves maintain their rich color all season long. Tiny, creamy white, bell-shaped flowers rise on wiry stems above the dense mound of foliage in May and June. While Heuchera will tolerate shade, the foliage color and general vigor of the plant will not be as good. Named after Obsidian, the dark colored volcanic glass often used as a gemstone.
