| History | Genus Heuchera is well represented by many North American native species. Breeding has focused on H. micrantha due to its red tinted foliage which gave rise to the many contemporary purple cultivars. The genus was named for European botanist, Johan Heinrich von Heucher, who first identified this American wildflower in 1730. 'Silver Scrolls" resulted from a hybrid cross made in 1996 at The Primrose Path, a breeder in southwestern Pennsylvania that specializes in breeding of Heucheras and related genera. |
| Lore | Native Americans used these thick roots for a medicinal by drying and then pounding them into a wound dressing, hence the common name, alum root |
