Overview
Heuchera 'Black Beauty' is a striking herbaceous perennial prized for its deeply ruffled, glossy foliage in rich shades of maroon, purple and near-black. Forming a neat, compact rosette of clumping foliage, it provides dramatic year-round colour in the garden. From May to July, delicate sprays of small cream and white flowers rise above the dark leaves, offering a lovely textural contrast. This versatile coral bells variety thrives in full sun, partial shade, or sun-part-shade, and is equally at home in borders, rockeries, containers, and patio displays.

- Stunning near-black glossy ruffled leaves provide incredible contrast in mixed planting schemes.
- Reliable semi-evergreen foliage ensures interest throughout the entire year.
