Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the very tiniest heuchera we grow, with leaves no bigger than the fingernail on your little finger. Forms a tight, dense mound and is entirely suitable for a rough garden or trough. These super tiny heuchera are also impressively tolerant of heat and drought. We know a guy who puts them on green roofs along with sedums and such. Zone 4
