Heuchera

Coral Bells

Maple-like leaves form a dense evergreen base for long slender stems lined with small, urn shaped flowers, ranging in color from white to pink to chartreuse. Heucheras are extremely durable, despite their delicate, even dainty appearance. Long-lived and occasionally drought tolerant, they are appropriate to virtually any garden situation.

Heuchera ‘Can Can’   

Stunning, dark plum purple leaves display ruffled edges and metallic silver veining. With an almost otherworldly appearance, this Dan Heims selection forms a compact, reflective mound. ‘Can Can’s textural foliage looks sumptuous against the golden blades of Hakonechloa ‘All Gold’.

Blooms June–July.

Size: 2' high x 16" wide; hardy to zone 4.

Heuchera ‘Cinnabar Silver’   

Sparks fly when fiery cinnabar-red flowers sizzle above a compact vigorous mound of stunning silver washed foliage. Prominently etched with purple veins and infused with mauve, the rounded, shallow-lobed leaves emerge in bronzy purple shades and later attain a mercurylike luster that holds its color. Evergreen in milder climates, ‘Cinnabar Silver’s bold frosty chic can be featured in a container or in the front of a moist shady border.

Blooms May-July.

Heuchera ‘Obsidian’   

Like shiny slabs of jet black obsidian, smooth ultra-dark leaves achieve a gemlike lustre while shrouding an elegant compact mound. dapper foliage, touted as the blackest of all—rounded, lobed and long petioled—holds its seductive ebony and midnight maroon coloring through full sun and hot, humid weather.

Heightened by tall, supple red-tinted stems with small creamy flowers, reliable ‘Obsidian’ becomes a deep mysterious springboard, accentuating gilt bladed grasses or golden perennials, the silvery fronds of japanese painted ferns and spotted Pulmonarias. (pp#14836).

Blooms June–July.

Size: 2' high x 16" wide; hardy to zone 4.

Heuchera ‘Old La Rochette’   

For its resilient nature, its tall, strong stemmed posies and handsome large leafage, this robust Heuchera maxima descendant was selected by victor reiter. two foot high red-tinted stalks elevate hundreds of smoky rose-colored blossoms above compact, green rounded foliage. Flourishing in dry shade with little water, ‘Old La Rochette’s good-sized mounding clump and pretty floral urns are most impressive in a drift under native oaks neighboring Festuca ‘Stony Creek’.

Blooms April–June.

Size: 3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 8.

Heuchera pulchella ‘Raspberry Regal’   

Excellent for cutting, these tightly clustered, deep rosy pink flowers open from dark, raspberry-red buds held on strong, upright stems that rise 2-½ ft. above the leafy mound of basal foliage. The robust leaves are deep green and sometimes subtly mottled with silver. To ensure cool, moist soil and ample sun, we plant this Heuchera on the edge of our woodland border and back it with Persicaria polymorpha.

Blooms June–August.

Size: 3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4.
