About this plant
This stunning perennial offers year-round interest with its unique, ever-changing foliage. New leaves emerge black-crimson, gradually developing striking hot pink flecks that intensify with age and cooler temperatures. In late spring to early summer, delicate white flowers appear on tall, slender stems, adding an airy contrast to the rich leaves. ‘Midnight Rose’ is a vigorous grower, forming a neat, mounding habit perfect for borders, containers, or mass plantings. Its bold coloration makes it an excellent choice for adding drama and texture to shaded gardens, pairing beautifully with other shade-loving plants like hostas or ferns. Easy to care for and exceptionally resilient, this Heuchera is a standout selection for any garden.
Care & maintenance
Heuchera 'Midnight Rose' is relatively low maintenance. Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to encourage new foliage growth and maintain a tidy appearance. In colder climates, a light layer of mulch in late fall can protect crowns from winter heaving. Divide overcrowded clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
