Heuchera 'Dolce Blackcurrant'

Heuchera 'Dolce Blackcurrant' makes a dramatic statement with its large, lobed leaves in deep purple-black, overlaid with a shimmering silver veil. The foliage color intensifies in cooler temperatures, providing year-round interest in mild climates. In early spring, slender stems rise above the mound bearing delicate pinkish-white bell flowers that attract pollinators.

Growing Conditions

• 
  Full Sun to Full Shade
• 
  Height: 2 feet or less

This coral bells variety adapts to a wide range of light conditions, though the richest color develops with some morning sun and afternoon shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Deadheading spent flower stems keeps the plant looking tidy, though it does not prolong blooming.

Landscape Uses

Plant in shade gardens, woodland borders, or mixed containers where its bold foliage can contrast with chartreuse, silver, or variegated companions. It also works well as a groundcover under deciduous trees.
