Heucheras are native to the woodlands of North America. They tend to grow in dense clumps and have brightly coloured foliage. They thrive in shade and make great groundcover plants. While plants are mainly grown for their foliage, inconspicuous flowers in summer add to their charm.
Heuchera ‘Southern Comfort’ has unusual copper-orange leaves, which contrast well with sprays of white flowers in summer. ‘Southern Comfort’ thrives in partial shade, and may suffer from leaf scorch if grown in full sun. For best results, remove faded leaves and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering.
