Heuchera
'Santa Ana Cardinal' ~ Island Alum Root |
In the wild I have seen
the parents of Heuchera Santa Ana Cardinal on shady north facing slopes and in misty waterfall zones. I have grown them in the
garden in dry shady conditions and they are on my list of dry shade favorites.
This is a cross including the island alum root as one of its parents. It is a
little larger than the other red flowered varieties that I have seen.
Heuchera Santa Ana Cardinal puts out a
knockout round of bloom in the spring and a smattering of flowers the remainder of the
year. For me this has been a particularly floriferous variety. It has larger
leaves than H. firefly.
