heuchera_amethyst_mist.jpg Heuchera 'Amethyst Mist' has deep maroon, or to make it sound more classy, burgundy, foliage, strongly patterned, almost covered, on the upper surface with silver.
heuchera_ebony_ivory.jpg Heuchera 'Ebony and Ivory' has a particulary good combination of foliage and flower colour. Deep bronze-purple foliage and lovely pale cream flowers.
heuchera_midnight_rose.jpg Heuchera 'Midnight Rose' is a spectacular variety with black background foliage spotted with rich pink marks in spring, turning to a lighter shade of black with cream and pink dots in summer. Quite unlike anything we have seen before.
heuchera_sugar_frosting.jpg Heuchera 'Sugar Frosting' is a highly attractive and compact variety, with silver-violet markings on burgundy leaves and creamy white flower spikes.
