Heuchera Sugar Plum

Common Name:
Heuchera 'Sugar Plum'

Description:
Heuchera 'Sugar Plum' is a striking, evergreen perennial featuring silvery-purple foliage that deepens to rich plum tones in cooler months. Its ruffled leaves form a dense, mounding habit, providing year-round colour and texture in garden beds, borders, and containers. In late spring and summer, tall spikes of delicate pink flowers rise above the foliage, attracting bees and butterflies. This hardy and low-maintenance plant thrives in well-drained soil and prefers part shade to full shade, though it can tolerate some morning sun. Drought-tolerant once established and capable of withstanding light frosts, Heuchera 'Sugar Plum' is an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens, adding contrast and interest to shaded areas.
