Heuchera pairings

Call them the plants that go with everything. Heucheras are the easiest way to update your garden for the season. There’s one for every color scheme, from amber to plum to lime green. And because most varieties max out at no more than 1 ½ feet tall, the low-maintenance plants are ideal for mixing and matching in both borders and containers. Tuck this list into your wallet for your next nursery stop.
