About this plant

Elevate your landscape with the opulent beauty of Heuchera 'Black Taffeta'. This exquisite coral bell cultivar boasts intensely dark, glossy leaves that shimmer with undertones of deep plum, adding unparalleled depth and contrast to your perennial borders or container designs. Its heavily ruffled texture further enhances its rich appearance, catching the light and creating captivating visual interest throughout the season. Beyond its stunning aesthetics, 'Black Taffeta' is a robust and reliable performer. In late spring to early summer, delicate spires of tiny, creamy white bells rise above the dark foliage, providing a charming contrast and attracting beneficial pollinators. Its mounded growth habit makes it an ideal choice for mass plantings, edging, or as a striking focal point. Hardy and adaptable, this Heuchera thrives in a variety of conditions, bringing sophisticated color and texture to both sunnier spots and dappled shade. It maintains its vibrant color and form with minimal fuss, making it a favorite for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking high-impact, low-maintenance elegance.

Care & maintenance

Easy to care for. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigor. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring if desired.
