A selection from Dirk Scheys of Belgium, Heuchera ‘Blackout’ was supposed to be the Heuchera that replaced ‘Obsidian’.  While it didn’t do that, it has become a very popular dark leafed heuchera.  It does get darker in color than Obsidian, and has a glossy leaf, but not quite the sheen of Obsidian.  Don’t let this keep you from adding ‘Blackout’ to your garden, it is very nice.

Heuchera ‘Plum Pudding’ has been one of the top heucheras for many years. Even with all the new varieties constantly coming out, this one still stays in the top ten.  Plum Pudding has a lighter purple foliage than many other heucheras and has a nice silver veining. Great winter interest as the veins really shine but only if kept moist in the winter.
