Heuchera villosa 'Autumn Bride'

Common Name:
Hairy Alumroot

Description:
Heuchera villosa 'Autumn Bride' is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial valued for its lush green foliage and masses of delicate creamy-white flowers carried on tall airy stems from late summer into autumn. The softly textured leaves form an attractive mound year-round, providing excellent contrast in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and underplanting schemes. Unlike many heucheras grown mainly for foliage colour, 'Autumn Bride' is particularly admired for its prolific flowering display and ability to brighten late-season gardens. In Melbourne conditions, it grows best in part shade with moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, though it can tolerate more sun with adequate moisture. This hardy perennial is ideal for cottage gardens, shaded pots, and mixed perennial plantings, while also attracting bees and beneficial pollinators during its flowering period.
