About this plant

Black Forest Cake heuchera forms a low mound of almost black leaves with cherry-red flowers in summer.

The foliage builds a compact clump that slowly widens, with flowering stems rising above it in season.

Best used for

Use at the front of a border or in a container where the dark foliage can contrast with lighter plants.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 5–10 cm per year Slow growth
Expected mature size 0.2–0.5 m high / 0.3–0.5 m wide

Expect around 5–10 cm of seasonal spread or fresh growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 0.2–0.5 m in height and 0.3–0.5 m in width. Allow room for a compact clump that slowly widens; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in humus-rich, free-draining soil and protect the crown from standing water. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove spent flower stalks and tired leaves in spring.
