Heuchera have really had a meteoric rise in popularity over the last few years, with a sweet shop of colours now available for your delectation. Never before has a plant been master of so many disguises; from cottage garden border plant to foliage filler to basket centrepiece. Think outside the box with your Heuchera, and they will give you great value!

‘Dark Secret’ is a fine specimen. The crinkled foliage is dark purple-bronze in colour, with a silvery sheen. The leaf margins are serrated and heavily ruffled. Flower stems support a frothy mix of white/rose florets, on purple stems, giving one knockout contrast!

Heuchera are incredibly versatile. Give them a well-drained soil and they’ll be as happy as Larry! Rockeries, perennial borders, under trees and shrubs, in patio pots, baskets, the list goes on.. Why not experiment a bit, by mixing up the jet-black tones with some reds, oranges or hot pinks!

Heuchera is easy to grow and adapts to most conditions, however avoid wet areas and soil conditions that do not drain well. Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer.
