American Alumroot

Heuchera americana

American Alumroot is favored for its richly textured, scalloped leaves that range in color from vibrant green to deep bronze. A hardy plant that forms dense, low mounds adding structure and color contrast to garden designs. In late spring to early summer, it produces slender, upright stalks topped with small, bell-shaped flowers, usually in subtle shades of white or pink. An excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, or as a ground cover in woodland settings, offering year-round interest with minimal care.

Maintenance Tips

  • Trim off spent flower stalks to maintain aesthetics and encourage more foliage growth.
  • Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years in the spring to keep plants vigorous and healthy.
  • Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. Monitor for leaf spot and rust, especially in humid conditions.
