So I go with Hew-ker-ah, because of the genus name Heuchera.
This is Heuchera villosa 'Caramel', one of several new
Some day, I'll post pictures of all of them - 'Autumn Bride', 'Mocha', 'Citronella'.
Heuchera villosa is a native plant and someone or someone(s) are doing a great job of breeding new colors into it.
'Caramel' is my favorite.
(I also like chocolate covered caramels, but that has nothing to do with why I like this plant. It's all about the leaf colors on this one!)

I don't have 'Caramel' but I do have 'Mocha' and like it. My favorite has to be 'Silver Scrolls' but I like almost all of them!
As I was reading the "hairy..." I thought, those look like heucheras to me. It's good I kept reading to see that they are indeed one of those lovely new heucheras. I wonder if I have room for some more.
I have never heard of the common name hair alumroot,but I don't think I've seen H. villosa out here much either.
I also am a big fan of Heuchera. I've never heard the common name hairy alumroot, but have seen it referenced as Coral Bells. I'm looking for the caramel variety this weekend - beautiful!
Those Villosas are the only ones that do well in my garden. I have one called Brownies that seems to be the same as Mocha. I like both names and all of them that are named for food. Caramel is an excellent garden plant and food. Latest addition: Tiramisu. :-)
