Description

Heuchera 'Opal' belongs to the group of large leaf (H. maxima) natives that prefer dry, shady conditions. They thrive under native oak trees or in similar situations. Once established, they require virtually no care other than removal of the dead flowers after they bloom in the spring. They are most effectively shown when planted in mass.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
