Plant Brief

Heuchera
'Mocha'
from Thierry Delabroye
France

Introduced 2007

An imposing mound of massive near-black foliage, H. 'Mocha' is not only one of the darkest Heucheras money can buy, but also probably the largest example of a very dark-leaved variety.

It keeps its leaves through the winter and the new spring foliage emerges copper-brown before darkening, so provides an interesting colour show through the year.

Sprays of cream flowers rise high late in the season to provide a contrasting feature.

H. 'Mocha' has the H. villosa species in its ancestry, giving superior strength to similarly coloured varieties and making it a great all-round performer in the garden, being able to withstand heat, humidity and exposure to sunlight that would make many others wither.

Spread: 20"/ 50cm
Hardiness: US zones 4-9
Blooms: July-October

Common name:
Coral Bells
