Zipper Heuchera is a compact evergreen herbaceous perennial with a tight mounding habit grown for vibrant deeply lobed and ruffled foliage. The foliage emerges orange with magenta undersides and transition to golden amber by fall. Its airy clusters of tiny creamy white bell-like flowers bloom on spires from late spring until frost attracting butterflies. Blooms best in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
