Heuchera Timeless Night, 2/3L
£12.00
notes
With dark purple - almost black, ruffled foliage Heuchera Timeless Knight brings drama and texture to the border. Ideal as ground cover or planted as a foil against vivid, lime-coloured Hostas and Ferns, it bears clusters of small pink flowers, held on slender stems above the foliage from spring until early autumn. A great plant to use as underplanting or ground cover, as its year-round interest will add colour and texture to the border. It can also be planted in a container.

- Height: up to 50cm (1ft 7in) x 50cm (1ft 7in) over 2-5 years
