notes
With dark purple - almost black, ruffled foliage Heuchera Dark Secret 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 delicate white flowers on slender stems in summer. These flowers emerge from pink buds and add a pretty lacy detail to cut flower arrangements; left in situ they draw native pollinators to the garden.
Dimensions
- 2L
- Height: up to 50cm (1ft 7in) x 50cm (1ft 7in) over 2-5 years
