Positive Weezingreens On Nov 15, 2002, Weezingreens from Seward, AK (Zone 3b) wrote:

Heuchera glabra grows in the mountains around our town of Seward on the coast of South-central Alaska. It's range is from the Alaska Peninsula following along the coast all the way through the Panhandle to Oregon, as well as the Aleutian Chain, favoring moist, rocky areas.

H. glabra has a clumping habit, its leaves 3-5 lobed and slightly hairy on the underside. The 5-petaled tiny, whitish flowers appear in groups of three along a branched stem of 10-16".
