Heuchera americana
Alumroot Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Alumroot is a low-growing perennial, valued especially for its very attractive evergreen foliage. In the basic species, Heuchera americana, leaves are slightly ruffled and reniform and green with silver between the veins, becoming reddish with cold weather. From neat 1 foot mounds, slender spikes bearing tiny pinkish-green flowers rise a foot or more above the foliage in May. The flowers look like they are perpetually in bud and are themselves not particularly showy but the effect is nice, like a cloud or haze about the plant. Alumroot grows naturally on basic (limy) rock outcrops and well-drained, rich, wooded slopes. It is quite at home in part sun or shade, making it very adaptable for garden use. Use it in along a path for edging, in the rock garden, or for color accent. The foliage is outstanding. Cat# 1106
