Description

Bring depth, drama, and a touch of gothic glamour to your garden with Heuchera ‘Dark Secret’. Its rich, burgundy-black ruffled leaves add year-round interest to borders, containers, and shaded corners. A striking contrast to paler plants like silver Brunnera or lime-green Alchemilla mollis, it also produces delicate sprays of soft pink flowers in summer, loved by pollinators.
