Heuchera ‘Obsidian’

Product Details

One of the great horticultural success stories of the last generation, Heucheras have metamorphosed from an obscure genus of North American wildflowers to garden stars available in a seemingly endless array of cultivars. ‘Obsidian’ is a perfect illustration of why these perennials are finding such popularity. The glossy dark maroon, almost black, leaves keep their color all season, posing a startling contrast to the carillons of white flowers borne in June and July. ‘Obsidian’s’ 16-inch-wide mound of polished leaves makes a strong statement as a solo planting, and when massed, a setting of black-tie elegance for the display of other floral treasures.

Heuchera is an American genus with lobed leaves and tiny, bell-shaped flowers on wand-like stems. Determined breeders have turned these perennials into some of the most attractive foliage plants. Heucheras make themselves at home in moist but well-drained, organic-enriched soils. They are attractive to hummingbirds and rarely troubled by deer.
