HEUCHERA richardsonii |
||
|
Description: One of the most cold hardy of our native Heuchera, this is naturally found all across the North Central US plains and northward well into Canada. These clump-forming perennials with rounded, shallowly lobed, mid-green leaves are softly gray-white-hairy beneath. Leafless flowering stems to 24 inches bear panicles of tiny green-white flowers in late Spring, each possessing little clawed petals and numerous stamens. Native Americans and early settlers used pounded dried roots to help close wounds that were difficult to heal. The same powder was also used to treat sore throats, and the rootstock was chewed as a cure for diarrhea. We make no claims for its’ medical efficacy! Named after Sir John Richardson, a Scotsman who explored northern North America in the early 1800’s. | ||||
