Wildberry Heuchera is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a low mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage and extended bloom season. Its huge intense purple leaves are glossy with chocolate veins. Dark stems sporting airy clusters of white bell-like flowers with rosy calyxes bloom in mid summer attracting butterflies. Blooms best in part sun and moist well-drained soils.
