Heuchera Miracle

Miracle Alumroot

Heuchera ‘Miracle’ is a colorful foliage perennial valued for its dramatic multi-toned leaves. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage that emerges bright chartreuse to lime-green in the center with striking burgundy-red margins, creating a strong color contrast that intensifies through the season. The foliage remains vibrant from spring through fall. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry airy clusters of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding a light accent while the striking leaves remain the primary ornamental feature.
