Alpine Alumroot

Heuchera cylindrica Alpine alumroot, or rounded alumroot, hails from a little further east but performs marvelously in western Oregon gardens - plus it’s particularly well-adapted to the rigors of urban life. Attractive scalloped leaves form tight, low-growing mounds of year-round foliage. In late spring, striking spikes stand up to two feet tall boasting bell-shaped flowers that can be creamy yellow, light green or even pinkish. This absolutely delightful perennial hits all the highs; it's hardy, easy to grow, fast-growing, drought-tolerant AND beneficial to pollinators. Who knows when we’ll be able to offer this beauty again, so I can assure you that at least three of them are coming home to Sparrowhawk’s garden!  Plant type/canopy layer: evergreen, perennial, herbaceous plant Size at maturity: 12-24” tall, equally wide Light requirements: full sun, part sun/part shade Moisture requirements: dry to moist soil, prefers well-drained Bloom time: April - August Growth rate/ea
