Description
Heuchera ‘Silverberry’ is a gorgeous high-contrast heuchera, with silvery foliage and dark veining that looks crisp and “designed” from the moment it’s planted. In summer it really earns its name, sending up bright pink flower stems that hover above the leaves and bring a cheerful pop of colour. It’s brilliant for pots and borders where you want light, texture, and a little bit of sparkle.

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.

Feeding:

Design Notes:
‘Silverberry’ is fantastic with dark foliage, deep greens, whites, and ornamental grasses. Use it to brighten part shade, to add a silvery note to containers, or to create a crisp contrast thread through a border. The pink flowers also make it a lovely choice for pollinator-friendly planting.
