Heuchera ‘Mulberry’ Description

Heuchera ‘Mulberry’ is a compact clump-forming perennial grown for its richly coloured foliage in shades of mulberry, plum and deep purple. Rounded, lobed leaves form a dense mound and retain useful colour through winter in mild conditions. Small bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage on fine stems during summer and attract pollinating insects. Mature plants generally reach around 25 to 35cm high and 40cm wide. Grow in partial shade or gentle sun in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains consistently moist but drains freely. Dark foliage tolerates some direct sun where moisture is reliable, but dry exposed sites should be avoided. It is fully hardy in Ireland. Clear away damaged leaves in spring and keep mulch away from the central crown.
