Meadow Alumroot

Heuchera chlorantha

Plant Description

Meadow alumroot is a perennial forb native to the Pacific Northwest, typically found in rocky outcrops, forest openings, and dry slopes. It forms compact basal rosettes of scalloped, often hairy leaves and sends up slender flowering stalks bearing small, greenish to yellow-green bell-shaped flowers. Meadow alumroot has a subtle appearance but plays an important ecological role by stabilizing soil and providing nectar for native bees and other pollinators. It thrives in well-drained soils and partial shade, making it an adaptable species for dry woodland and rocky habitat restoration.
