Heuchera Midnight Bayou
They wanted a purple large leaved Heuchera for the South. They have it with H. ‘Midnight Bayou.’ Maple-like leaves of purple with black veins provide an excellent foil for silver leaved and light pink-flowered plants. Leaf color changes with the season from red purple to silvered purple. The H. villosa heritage adds to the appeal of this bayou-beauty.
