description_en: Genus of about 55 species of evergreen and semi-evergreen perennials from woodland and rocky sites in North America, chiefly the Rocky Mountains, with a few from Mexico. They have woody rootstocks and form clumps or mounds of rounded to heart-shaped, lobed, and often toothed, long-stalked, boldly veined leaves. Those with darker or paler shading or variegation are excellent foliage plants. Hybrids of H. cylindrica, H. sanguinea, and H. micrantha share their parents’ habits and leafcharacteristics. The small, some-times petalless, tubular flowers, 2-6mm (1/16-1/4in) long, occasionally to 10mm (1/2in), have conspicuous, colourful calyces, and ire borne in narrow, Ioose racemes or panicles. Use as ground cover or in a herbaceous, mixed, or shrub border; the flowers are good for cutting and are attractive to bees.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost hardy.

propagation_en: Sow seed of species in containers in a cold frame in spring. Divide species and cultivars in autumn.
