Heuchera Sugar Plum

Heuchera Sugar Plum Details

Heuchera Sugar Plum is an herbaceous perennial grown for its foliage and impressive flowering. The large and lush, leaves are purple-red with a dusting of silver. Flower spikes emerge above the foliage in summer and may reach 50 cm tall carrying masses of small, bell-shaped, cream-coloured flowers. The combination of flowers and foliage is outstanding. It typically grows to 30 cm tall and 40 cm wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of short periods of dry and in cold climates it may die back during winter to regenerate in spring. Heuchera Sugar Plum is great for providing contrast to a garden and is often included in borders or mixed plantings, planted around outdoor living areas, mass planted on a bank, used as a groundcover, or included in cottage gardens.
