Most members of this genus are grown for their foliage, and there is a huge range of varieties with exotic coloured leaves. They make great ground cover, or can be used to soften the edges of paths.
x Heucherella 'Kimono' has green, palmate leaves, with a central zone in each lobe a much darker, purple colour. The flowers are rosy pink.

|
| Heuchera 'Ebony and Ivory' has a particulary good combination of foliage and flower colour. Deep bronze-purple foliage and lovely pale cream flowers. | |
|
