Heuchera Silver Scrolls

Alum Root 'Silver Scrolls'

Heuchera ‘Silver Scrolls’ is a striking foliage perennial valued for its shimmering silver leaves accented by dark veining and burgundy undersides. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage with a metallic sheen that brightens shaded plantings while providing rich color contrast. The deep burgundy leaf backs add depth and interest when the foliage moves in the breeze. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry airy sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding a delicate accent while the distinctive leaves remain the primary ornamental feature.
