The Black Forest Cake Heuchera is the decadent treat your shade garden has been craving. If you are looking to add deep, dramatic color to those cooler corners of your yard, this perennial is a must-have. Its ruffled, near-black foliage provides a stunning backdrop for the dainty, cherry-red flowers that float above on slender stems in early summer. Growing to a tidy 12 inches tall and wide, it is the perfect size for front-of-the-border accents or stunning patio containers in Zones 7 and 8. While you will love the contrast, deer and rabbits typically find the leathery leaves unappealing, keeping your “cake” safe from nibblers.

To ensure success, plant your Heuchera in filtered sun or part shade. Blend Watters Premium Mulch with your gardens native soil to provide the rich, well-draining environment these roots love. For those vibrant red blooms and dark leaves, feed regularly with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This organic nourishment keeps the foliage lush and the colors deep all season long.
