Heuchera x 'Shanghai' - CITY™ Shanghai Heuchera

Shanghai Heuchera is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage.  The round-lobed leaves emerge a rich purple that becomes a metalic silver as it ages.  Airy clusters of tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on dark spires through summer attracting butterflies.  Blooms best in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Potential issues include powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, and frost heaving of roots if winter temperatures fluctuate widely.  Will grow slowly in heavy shade.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Native Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:   Lenten Rose, Hosta, Painted Fern
