Good plant #109 - Heuchera Licorice


Most gardeners have a favourite heuchera. This one has particularly dark foliage which is slightly ruffled. The flowers are small and white.

It forms a lovely compact clump from which expands year on year. Heucheras like a mulch of compost every spring.

Heucheras prefer moist fertile, well-drained soil and will tolerate both sunny and shady-ish sites.

The best time to divide heucheras is mid Autumn.
