Heuchera, also known as Coral Bells, are extremely versatile perennial plants that are primarily grown for their colorful foliage. They grow well in full sun, part sun or shade. Each variety has a preferred sun exposure so there is one for every garden location. Once established Coral Bells are drought tolerant and deer resistant. Many of the newer varieties of Coral Bells have colorful flowers, a huge improvement over varieties of the past that had bland blooms. The flower stems are great additions to fresh-cut flower bouquets. The sweet flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Like all heuchera family plants, this variety goes through seasonal color changes. Temperature, genetics, age and sun exposure all contribute to the color of the foliage. Brightest colors are usually seen during colder months. Young starter plants usually need a full year in their new home to develop all the coloration, size and texture. Too much shade can dull the colors. Some varieties genetically have more significant changes. You get 4 seasons of visual excitement.
