Featured Plants - Heuchera 'Silver Light'

The foliage of 'Silver Light' (PP#15,067) is among the most highly silvered of the cultivars that have been introduced.

Growth Habit - 'Silver Light' is a compact heuchera, forming a dense clump to 4 or 5" X 10" and erect flower stems to 18".

Foliage - The small, round-lobed leaves are so metallic silver that they reflect light. A tracery of dark veins adds to the interest. The underside of the leaves is dark red-purple.

Flowers - The frilly light pink flowers open in late spring from dark pink buds.

Special Features - We grow 'Silver Light' in light shade and combine it with low growing plants with silvery tones such as Athyrium niponicum f. pictum, Asarum spp., hardy Cyclamen, and glaucous sedges (Carex spp.).The compact size and upright flower stems of 'Silver Light' makes it a good heuchera for use in containers or along the fronts of beds.
