Midnight Rose Alumroot
Midnight Rose Alumroot, with dark purple leaves splattered with hot pink polka dots, is so delightful. This lovely Heuchera hybrid would be a lively feature in any shady garden. It can be used in full sun to part shade. As with many colorful alumroot selections, the variegation or spot color evolves over the growing season, in this case the spots become larger and creamier in color as the leaves mature. Introduced by Terra Nova Nurseries in 2006, Midnight Rose Alumroot will be 10 inches tall and 16 inches wide at maturity. The foamy white spike of late spring flowers will extend the height up to 24 inches and add additional interest. It will attract birds, bees and is resistant to deer. Beautiful in containers or as an accent in the front row of a perennial border, striking if planted in large numbers as a groundcover in shade.
