Description
Distribution and habitat
Heuchera cylindrica is native to rocky areas in the woods, cliff-side ledges, slopes and sub-alpine meadows in the Pacific Northwest. It prefers soil rich in humus, that receives plenty of moisture, but is well drained. It can thrive in sunny or partly shady habitats.[5] The species is widespread[3] and locally common, so it is considered ecologically secure.
