Nobody ever imagined just a few years ago that the little ordinary green leaved Heuchera - that's been around since the stone age - would bring about so many new colorful hybrids as are on the market today. Breeding experiments yielded such a rainbow of color that the whole perennial world has been revolutionized by their transformation. Small bushy plants with this much variation are super useful where space is limited. They are the quintessential plant for urban gardens with a bonus of bright spires of tiny bell flowers in pink, red, or white. Heucheras prefer shade and are exceptionally drought tolerant. many retain their foliage during mild winters in the south.
