Additional Information about Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls'
The leaves are about 3.5" across and highly silvered. When the new foliage appears in the spring (lower right), it is silver flushed with burgundy, but as the season progresses, it becomes almost silver and black, with the leaf veins resembling cast iron scrollwork against a light background (right). The foliage remains attractive through the fall and winter. - Primrose Path
Silver Scrolls is one of the most popular of the hybrid Heuchera by breeder Charles Oliver. This is an extraordinary award-winning variety so popular for its brightly colored foliage in the shady garden setting. The rounded leaves are metallic silver with a scrollwork of dark veining. - Casa Flora
Glossy metallic leaves with a magenta-purple reverse. In May and June it produces pink buds on 24" stems which open to white flowers, excellent for cutting. A year-round presence in the garden, it changes the hue of its leaves in response to light levels, glowing a rich violet in winter and responding to spring sun with silver overlays.
'Silver Scrolls' won a Bronze Medal at Plantarium 2000 in Holland.
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls'
'Silver Scrolls' grows best in rich, moist, well-drained soil in full to partial shade. Foliage is more distinct in shade, but can be grown in full sun if adequate moisture is provided. Susceptible to frost heave due to shallow root depth. Mulching around the crown can prevent this. Divide clumps every 3-4 years. May be raised by seed as well but most likely truer to cultivar if obtained vegetatively. Deadhead to extend flowering season. Use as an edging plant in perennial beds, understory planting or to add interest to the woodland garden. Also does well in containers.
