Heuchera 'Boysenberry' (Indian Summer Series)

Common name: Coral Bells 'Boysenberry'

Description: This eye-catching cultivar from the Indian Summer Series produces large, rounded leaves in deep boysenberry-purple tones with prominent dark veining that creates an almost three-dimensional effect. The glossy, semi-evergreen foliage has excellent substance and forms a dense, weed-suppressing clump that maintains its rich colouration throughout the season. In early summer, elegant sprays of creamy-white flowers emerge on tall stems, creating a striking contrast against the dark foliage. The Indian Summer Series is renowned for breeding Heucheras specifically suited to British growing conditions, offering exceptional vigour, disease resistance, and reliable performance. This is an outstanding choice for adding drama to shaded borders or containers.
