Silver Gumdrop Heuchera is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a low mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage and extended bloom season. Its lobed leaves emerge amber and mature to green before taking on a ginger color throughout summer. Burgundy stems sport airy clusters of creamy white bell-like flowers that bloom in early summer attracting butterflies. Blooms best in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
