Notes
Littleflower alumroot (Heuchera parviflora) is a perennial for shade gardens, rock gardens, and woodland edges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part to full shade and dry to average soil. Small white to pale pink flowers open from mid to late summer into early autumn. It grows 6 to 18 inches tall and 6 to 12 inches wide, so it suits tight spots under trees or beside stones.
Pairs well with Lady in Red lady fern, Umbrella plant, and Stokes’ aster.
