Heuchera 'Sugar Plum' has frosty plum-purple leaves that make a tight mound of evergreen (in zone 6 and above) foliage. Silver-pink flowers rise 26" above the soil and frequently rebloom. A refreshing sight in summer!

Sugar Plum is an exciting new Heuchera introduction. The lush foliage is maple-like with reticulated silver over purple. 18" tall airy flower spikes are sterile and bloom profusely and repeatedly from summer to fall. Very hardy and disease resistant, Heuchera make ideal companions to other shade lovers like hostas and ferns.

Plum-purple leaves with a frosty silver sheen set this heuchera apart, another from Terra Nova Nursery's breeding program. Slightly larger and with larger leaves than others of the purple ilk, these form evergreen mounds to 12" tall x 18" wide with silvery pink flowers on stalks to 26" high, standing above the foliage in spring and summer. Full sun or part shade in hottest climates, in well-drained soil with careful summer water, allowing some drying between dousings. Expected to tolerate heat and humidity. Frost hardy in to -30F, USDA zone 4.

Frosty plum-purple leaves in spring and fall make a full mound of evergreen foliage. Silvery pink flowers rise 26 inches above the soil and frequently rebloom. Foliage is silver in summer and winter. H. villosa breeding gives it the bigger habit.
