Heuchera 'Midnight Rose'

‘Midnight Rose’ forms a rounded mound of glossy, near-black leaves with pink spots that enlarge and lighten toward cream as the season advances. Its pale summer flowers are modest, while the changing foliage supplies the main display. [TERRA NOVA® Nurseries](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/heuchera-midnight-rose/) identifies it as a sport of ‘Obsidian’ and lists foliage near 10 inches with flower stems to 24 inches. ## Landscape Use Place the dark leaves where they contrast with silver, chartreuse, or fine-textured plants. The mound suits a mixed border, mass planting, or container. ## Siting and Soil Grow in full sun or partial shade in moderately moist, well-drained soil. In warm regions, protect foliage from harsh afternoon sun; in cooler areas, brighter light can intensify its dark color. Water regularly while establishing, then let the surface dry slightly between waterings. ## Maintenance Keep the crown at soil level and avoid waterlogged winter soil. Remove damaged foliage and spent stems in spring; leave healthy leaves through winter. A light compost dressing in spring is usually sufficient.
