Overview

The Crevice Alumroot, Heuchera micrantha, is a North American native perennial known for its compact mounds of scalloped, green leaves and delicate panicles of tiny, bell-shaped flowers. Thriving in USDA zones 4-8, it reaches 12-18 inches in height and spreads up to 12 inches. Preferring partial shade, Alumroot excels in well-drained soil. Its low-maintenance, drought-resistant traits make it ideal for rock gardens and border fronts.
