On windy days the colors put on a display similar to that of a Can-Can Dancer. One moment you'd be looking at green leaves and the wind would pick up and the leaves would flutter and display their maroon underside. This spring I moved it to an area of the garden that is partial shade and the green in the leaves has pretty much vanished . I think I prefer this gray tint to the leaves because it looks like it is permanently covered in frost.
I didn't even bother photographing the flowers because they were white and pretty insignificant. My favorite thing about this perennial is the heart-shaped, lobed leaves. It is suppose to reach a height of 36" and attract Hummingbirds and Butterflies, though I have yet to see any signs of Butterflies in the garden visiting any of the Heucheras.
I love that plant. It looks so neat with the grey and maroon on bottom. What do you have it planted around?
ReplyDeleteHey Curtis,
ReplyDeleteI have it planted in between a couple of H. 'Purple Palace" plants.
Great plant and photo. Interesting that you planted it in full-sun and it's doing so well. Equally interesting it that the leaves have darkened because of it.
ReplyDeleteCheers for the post...
I love the color of the Heuchera in your photo too.
ReplyDeleteI just planted three different varieties in my shade garden.
Stuart and chigiy
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by glad you both like the plant. It is one of my favorites.
