Description
Common name: Coral Bells
Supersized and stunning, this handsome, tough and highly adaptable hybrid has a big mounding habit with wavy purple leaves. Stands up to heat and humidity while tall spikes of tiny pink flowers put on their summer show. Plant in groups for a bold color statement, or in pots with contrasting companions. Evergreen in milder winter regions.
This plant is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. The villosa species is a large, late blooming type that exhibits an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity over other species. Most produce cream flowers in midsummer, though they are grown more for their fantastic foliage. H. villosa is native to the southeastern United States.
Coral bells are easy to grow and blend easily with most other perennials in the landscape. Because of their low, mounding habit, they are often used as edging along paths or in containers. Try cutting a few of the tall flower scapes for fresh bouquets.
