Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls'

Alum Root 'Silver Scrolls'

Heuchera ‘Silver Scrolls’ is a striking foliage perennial valued for its shimmering silver leaves and deep burgundy undersides. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage with a soft metallic sheen and dark veining that gives the plant a distinctive patterned look. The leaf undersides are rich burgundy, adding depth and color contrast when the foliage moves in the breeze. In late spring to early summer, airy stems of small creamy-white flowers rise above the foliage, providing a light accent while the dramatic leaves remain the main attraction.
