FAQ

Which plant does this Heuchera verdict cover?

Heuchera sanguinea. The ASPCA's Alumroot and Coral Bells entries give the scientific name "Heuchera sanguinea". This verdict covers that species. Plants with other scientific names are not covered or graded here. Check the scientific name on the tag.

Does the name Heuchera make this a verdict for the entire genus?

No. The ASPCA's Alumroot and Coral Bells entries list "Heuchera" as an additional common name, but both give the scientific name "Heuchera sanguinea". This verdict covers that species, not every plant with a different scientific name.
