Heuchera maxima on our school campus
Heuchera maxima on our school campus

Heuchera maxima - One of the California natives planted by our students on our campus over the past couple of years. I would not purchase them again even though it takes well to our campus and has become one of my favorites, I have since found out that the Heuchera maxima is native to southern California's Channel islands, not to our northern California region. From now on I will instead go with our local variety, Heuchera micrantha.

In the background the taller grass is a native grass; the foreground grasses are not. The invasive is Ehrharta erecta which is causing problems through much of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The seed stock in the soil will haunt us for some years.
