Heuchera Villosa Autumn Bride

Hairy Alum Root

Heuchera villosa ‘Autumn Bride’ is a vigorous perennial valued for its attractive foliage and abundant late-season flowers. It forms a broad, mounded clump of large, softly textured green leaves that provide a lush groundcover effect throughout the growing season. In late summer to early fall, tall airy stems rise above the foliage carrying clouds of small creamy-white bell-shaped flowers, creating a bright display at a time when many perennials are fading. Its strong growth and late bloom make it especially valuable in woodland gardens.
