Heuchera 'Obsidian'

The magnificent ultra-dark foliage of 'Obsidian' contrasts beautifully with the greens, blues, silvers, and yellows of the sunny to partly shaded garden. It's a stunning presence in the border, as edging, or even as a ground cover! In spring, its leaves unfurl a rich, midnight-green that stands out and won't lighten the minute the weather warms up. It keeps its deep hues throughout the growing season, giving you months of exquisite color! Small cream-colored flowers on long, slender stems arise in early summer. Tolerant of heat and humidity, obsidian will withstand some drought, though it prefers water during long dry spells. Deer-resistant, it makes a good choice for woodland or exposed gardens and puts up with cold weather very well, bouncing back in spring with a fresh display. Butterflies are lured to its early-summer blooms, adding to the color show! Space these plants about 15 to 18 inches apart. They will grow 10 inches tall (with 2-foot bloomspikes) and 15 inches wide.
