Description
Branching perennial from rhizomes[1], 4-10 dm tall.[2]
Leaves basal, palmately lobed, obovate to sub-reniform in shape,[2] leaf stems and bases densely covered with soft hairs.[1] Leaf stipules membranous, fused to leaf stalks.[2]
Densely-flowered, spike-like inflorescence.[2] Calyx is green.[1] Stamens 5, opposite the 5 corolla lobes.[2]
Seeds covered in slightly tapered spines in longitudinal rows.[1]
Bloom Period
May-August.[3]
Distribution
Central BC to southern Oregon, west Cascades and in the Columbia River Gorge in Washington, on both sides of Cascades in Oregon.[1]
Habitat
Mesic to moist grassy bluffs, streambanks, meadows, rocky river banks, roadsides and forest margins, gravelly prairies and thickets in the lowland and montane zones.[2][1]
Uses
There are many important species in the Heuchera genus, both for medicine and tanning, because of their generally extremely astringent roots.
Heuchera chlorantha is a nectar source for many species of native bumblebees.[4]
