Heuchera ‘Black Forest Gateau’ is a rich, dramatic foliage perennial, grown for its deep chocolate‑brown to near‑black leaves with subtle maroon undertones. As the seasons progress, the foliage develops even deeper colouring, making it an excellent choice for adding contrast and depth to borders, containers, and contemporary planting schemes.
Ideal for sun or partial shade, this variety forms a neat, clump‑forming plant and provides reliable year‑round foliage interest in UK gardens.
Supplied as healthy 5cm plug plants, these heucheras establish quickly and are perfect for potting on or planting out once conditions allow.
