Description
Heuchera 'Opal' belongs to the group of large leaf (H. maxima) natives that prefer dry, shady conditions. They thrive under native oak trees or in similar situations.

Water Saving Tip:
As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.
Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
