Heuchera ‘Obsidian’ at Digging Dog
Coral Bells
Maple-like leaves form a dense evergreen base for long slender stems lined with small, urn shaped flowers, ranging in color from white to pink to chartreuse. Heucheras are extremely durable, despite their delicate, even dainty appearance. Long-lived and occasionally drought tolerant, they are appropriate to virtually any garden situation.

Like shiny slabs of jet black obsidian, smooth ultra-dark leaves achieve a gemlike lustre while shrouding an elegant compact mound. dapper foliage, touted as the blackest of all—rounded, lobed and long petioled—holds its seductive ebony and midnight maroon coloring through full sun and hot, humid weather. Heightened by tall, supple red-tinted stems with small creamy flowers, reliable ‘Obsidian’ becomes a deep mysterious springboard, accentuating gilt bladed grasses or golden perennials, the silvery fronds of japanese painted ferns and spotted Pulmonarias.
