Heuchera ‘Black Forest Cake’

Smooth, dark chocolatey foliage topped with bright cherry-red flowers. What's not to like? Excellent habit and showy flowers are a great addition to any perennial foliage lineup. Medium sized plant that's great in containers and garden beds. 'Black Forest Cake' is a favorite of the staff and visitors of TERRA NOVA®. No matter how you slice it, it's good.
