Red Lightning Alumroot has gold-green leaves with contrasting dark red veins. This electric combination is reflected in its cultivar name. It is a Heuchera villosa hybrid from Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon, and is heat and humidity tolerant. The pale colored leaves make it a target for leaf scorch in hot afternoon sun, so Red Lightning Alumroot would prefer partial to full shade for the best leaf color. It will mature to a leafy mound 11 inches high and 16 inches wide, the scapes of foamy white flowers will appear in mid to late summer and increase the height to 18 inches. Pretty in mixed container plantings, as a front row in a shady perennial border or used as a ground cover in partial shade, its vivid colors will attract attention. Resistant to deer and attractive to hummingbirds and bees. The colorful foliage will remain attractive in areas with milder winters.
