Description

Heuchera maxima will reach about 3' tall when in bloom and has deep green, lobed, evergreen leaves. Small white flowers with a touch of pink bloom in spring, rising above the foliage. This perennial can tolerate full sun in coastal areas but prefers part sun to shade in inland valleys. It looks great under oak trees, planted in masses. It is drought tolerant once it's established.
