Hairy alumroot
Heuchera villosa 'Autumn Bride' |
H. var. villosa is known typically as a foliage plant with insignificant flowers. However, this selection was selected and introduced for both its foliage and its dramatic white wands which flower late in the summer. It is quite attractive set above 5” furry green leaves. Its large, hairy, triangular lobed leaves are sharply-toothed. The velvety look makes it touchable and inviting with its unique texture. This is a hardy plant that offers a nice soft layer to the landscape.

Hardy Pink Begonia
Begonia grandis (B. evansiana) |
Great color for full or part shade. This tuberous begonia bears green heart-shaped foliage with red veining and claret-stained undersides that steal the show when backlit. Pendent clusters of slightly fragrant, satiny pink blossoms open from midsummer until frost. As the common name "Hardy Begonia" implies, it is one of the hardiest species or cultivars of Begonias. It is completely herbaceous but reappears refreshed with shiny new foliage in early spring.
- Height: 1 ½’ -2’ x Spread: same
- Part shade to full shade
- Zone 6-9
