Description
Heuchera 'Eternal Flame' lives up to its name—a perennial that smoulders gently through the seasons, never quite going out. Its lobed leaves emerge in a glowing golden hue etched with rich red veining, slowly deepening into shades of fiery amber and burnt orange as the months pass. Each leaf seems to catch the light in its own way, creating a flickering, flame-like effect that keeps the border glowing even when other plants start to fade. The compact, clump-forming habit of Heuchera 'Eternal Flame' makes it perfect for edging paths, brightening shady corners or adding contrast in mixed containers.
Summer brings another layer of charm, as slender stems rise elegantly above the foliage, each tipped with delicate sprays of pink-red flowers that dance in the breeze. The blooms of Heuchera 'Eternal Flame' may be dainty, but they draw in pollinators in droves, adding gentle movement and life to the display. Hardy, evergreen and beautifully behaved, Heuchera 'Eternal Flame' asks for little yet gives so much—colour, texture and a touch of the unexpected. Whether you’re after a subtle ember or a full border blaze, this alum root variety keeps the spark alive long after the first frost has cooled the rest of the garden.
Heuchera is called alum root because its roots contain astringent compounds once used like alum for treating wounds and tanning leather.

Useful information
-
Soak the Heuchera 'Eternal Flame' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Alum root" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
