About this plant
Heuchera x villosa 'TNHEUGA' produces airy sprays of small pink flowers in midsummer, held above the foliage on slender stems. Rounded, gently ruffled leaves are washed in silvery lavender and amethyst-purple tones, highlighted by deeper plum veining. The colorful foliage remains attractive through much of the year and develops richer tones during cooler weather, providing enduring interest beyond the flowering season.
Originating through modern hybrid breeding involving Heuchera villosa, a species native to eastern North America, this cultivar reflects selection focused on ornamental foliage and vigorous growth. It is well suited to woodland gardens, borders, containers, and mixed plantings, where its colorful leaves provide texture and lasting seasonal appeal.
