Description
Hot pink splashes adorn this vigorous Heuchera Obsidian sport. Pink flecks emerge in spring and continue to enlarge and brighten before lightening to creamy pink as the season progresses. Reported to do well in high heat and sun. Low mounding habit is perfect for the front of border or as a stunning dark compliment to brighter annuals in a mixed pot.
Care
This easy-to-grow Heuchera performs well in both sun and shade. However, the best foliage and most vigorous growth occurs with a full dose of sun. Flowers are insignificant. Heuchera 'Midnight Rose' looks its best when the flower stalks are removed before flowering. Frost heave is a killer in colder climates. Avoid transplanting after September. Do not cut back in winter as Heucheras use stored energy from leaves for spring growth.
