Description
Heuchera micrantha 'Chocolate Ruffles'
Height x Spread: 40cm x 60cm
'Chocolate Ruffles' really lives up to its name, it has ruffled, chocolate coloured foliage with a purple under-leaf all year round. Tall sprays of dainty pure white flowers appear during early summer.
This Heuchera works extremely well in rockeries, at the front of borders or as an under-plant for shrubs and roses. 'Chocolate Ruffles' is happy to grow in the salt laden air of coastal locations too. Well-drained, fertile soils are preferred however the plant will cope with slightly moist situations in either partial shade or sun.
