Heucheras are foliage-led perennials with rounded leaves in green, bronze, purple, silver, caramel and lime tones, plus airy flower stems in spring and summer.
Heucheras are foliage perennials that bring colour to the lower layer of a border, with leaves ranging from lime and amber to purple, silver and near black. Their airy flower stems add extra texture without hiding neighbouring plants. Heucheras perform well in many Irish gardens, especially where soil is fertile but free draining. They tolerate some shade, but crowns can suffer in persistently wet winter soil, so good drainage improves longevity.
