A genus of plants, commonly called coral bells or alumroot, with attractive foliage and small bell-shaped flowers.
Modern Latin botanical name, likely named after Johann Heinrich von Heucher, an 18th-century German botanist and physician. The '-a' is a Latin feminine ending used in scientific plant nomenclature.
Heuchera plants are beloved by gardeners specifically because their leaves come in wild colors—purples, reds, browns, oranges—not from flowers but from pigments that actually help the plant survive in shade where many other plants struggle!
