Small-flowered Alumroot (Heuchera micrantha)

Small-flowered alumroot is an attractive perennial, with tall, airy sprays of graceful, delicate white flowers rising above basal leaves that can remain evergreen in milder climates. The floral display is especially showy when numerous plants are grouped together. It can handle full shade to sun, but does best in partial shade, and is great for perennial borders, containers, and shady rock gardens. This is the parent plant of many popular and commercially available heuchera cultivars and hybrids.
