    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Heuchera ‘Mars’ features ruffled leaves that shift from silvery-copper to pale purple. Airy wands of white bell flowers appear in late Spring. They are very attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies alike. This hardy evergreen perennial grows with a compact, mounding habit. An excellent groundcover for dry shade. Heuchera will tolerate full sun in more Northern areas as long as adequate moisture is provided.
