Dark foliage can give a planting scheme real definition, and Heuchera ‘Black Taffeta’ does it with beautifully ruffled leaves. Their glossy, almost-black surface catches the light along the folds, bringing texture as well as depth of colour. Fine stems of pink flowers add a lighter detail in late spring and early summer.

Use this dark heuchera to frame pale flowers, set off silver foliage or provide a strong contrast beside lime-green leaves. A simple pot allows its sculpted shape to stand on its own, while a repeated planting along a border edge creates a rich backdrop for changing seasonal flowers.
