Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Chocolate Veil' is a heuchera hybrid with large, chocolatey-black to maroon leaves, with prominent silver veining and stippling. The leafy mound grows about 12 or so inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide and is lovely on its own. But the foliage is topped in early summer with tall, delicate stems covered in white to blush pink, bell shaped flowers. The flowers are excellent cut, or leave them be and deadhead when they are spent. Great foliage like this is a garden boon.
