This perennial will grow to about 3' tall and has medium sized, dark, chocolate-colored, green leaves with pink flowers on 18" tall branches that bloom from spring to fall. Heuchera does better in partial shade especially afternoon shade. It prefers well draining, rich soil. This plant is great for borders.
