Heuchera villosa 'purple form'
Purple Alumroot Zones: 6, 7, 8
Our Heuchera villosa is a purplish selection of the normally green species. Unlike common Alumroot with its mottled silver-green foliage, Purple Alumroot has lightly fuzzy, burgundy-green leaves. The effect is subtle and rich. Clouds of tiny whitish-green flowers 12 inches above the foliage come in late summer and fall, a slow time for flowers in the woods. In its natural habitat, Purple Alumroot grows on shaded cliffs and ledges. The 6-inch, evergreen, sharply lobed leaves stand out beautifully against the light gray rocks. For us it grows lushly, forming 18-inch clumps in rich woodland soil in light shade, provided it is well-drained and a little on the dry side. We love Purple Alumroot in combination with the finely cut blue-green foliage of Bleeding Heart and the deep green of Log Fern. Cat# 1112
