Description
Heuchera ‘Tapestry’ is a beautifully detailed foliage plant, with silver-green leaves etched with dark veining and a rich burgundy underside that shows as the leaves move in the breeze. It brings instant texture and contrast to borders and containers, and it looks “finished” for months at a time. In early summer, airy stems of small creamy flowers rise above the foliage for a soft, natural lift.
Caragh Garden Notebook
Planting:
Plant in spring or autumn into well-prepared soil, or pot into a quality peat-free compost with good drainage. Keep the crown at soil level — don’t bury it too deeply. Water well to settle in.

Watering:
Water regularly in the first season and during dry spells, especially in containers. Consistent moisture helps keep foliage lush and prevents stress in sunnier positions.

Feeding:
A spring mulch and a light feed (or slow-release feed in pots) is usually plenty. Refresh the compost surface in containers each spring for a quick boost.

Seasonal Care & Tidy-Up:
Remove tired leaves as needed. In late winter/early spring, tidy away older foliage so the new growth comes through cleanly.

Design Notes:
‘Tapestry’ is brilliant for adding pattern to planting schemes — pair it with lime foliage, deep purples, whites, and ornamental grasses for contrast, or use it to bring detail to part shade borders where flowers can be fleeting. It’s especially effective repeated in small drifts to create a calm, cohesive look.
