Heuchera ‘Cajun Fire’
Burning like a Cajun fire, these plants change colors with the seasons: red in spring, black in summer, and maroon in fall. They are always attractive, having clean foliage in rounded mounds. White flowers on dark stems hover just above the foliage. Grows well in the South and East as well as the Northwest!
