About Heuchera micrantha Douglas
Heuchera micrantha Douglas is a plant that varies quite a bit in appearance, and it has a number of wild and cultivated varieties. Its leaves are lobed, usually covered in glandular hairs, and range in color from green to reddish-green or purple-green. The leaves may grow on very long petioles marked with glands. The plant produces an erect inflorescence that can reach up to one meter tall, and this inflorescence holds many clusters of pink, white, or greenish flowers. Each flower is rounded, with fleshy, hairy lobes that have tiny petals at their tips, plus protruding stamens and a stigma. Native Americans pounded the plant's root to create a poultice. This species is native to western North America, ranging from British Columbia to California, where it grows on rocky slopes and cliffs.
