Heucheras are native to the woodlands of North America. They tend to grow in dense clumps and have brightly coloured foliage. They thrive in shade and make great groundcover plants. While plants are mainly grown for their foliage, inconspicuous flowers in summer add to their charm.
Heuchera 'Mint Julep’ has bright lime-green leaves, which develop more of a mint-green with prominent silver veining, with maturity. White flowers are borne on short stems in summer. It’s perfect for growing in full shade, particularly in pots. For best results, remove faded leaves and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering.
