Silver Gumdrop Heuchera is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a low mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage and extended bloom season. Its glossed iridescent silver lobed leaves take on a rosy overtone later and is topped with airy clusters of vibrant pink bell-like flowers that bloom in mid to late summer attracting butterflies. Blooms best in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
