'Blackout' Heuchera PPAF
Common Name: Coral Bells
Zone 4 to 9, Evergreen (in some or all zones)
Full sun to full shade, depending on zone and conditions.
Plants reach 6 inches tall and 14 inches wide, clump-forming perennial.
Very glossy, near-jet black leaves with rounded lobes. It forms a tight, compact mound that looks great as edging or in containers.
This coral bells cultivar has a low, mounding, clump-forming habit. Rounded, lobed, long-petioled leaves (2 to 4 inches wide) form a basal mound (to 6 inches tall) which may spread 14 inches wide. Tiny, cream, bell-shaped flowers appear in mid-summer on slender, wiry 10 inch stems rising well above the foliage mound may attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Easy to grow average soil; but best in organically rich, humus, medium wet, well-drained soil, in partial shade. Performs well in full sun in the north, but prefers afternoon shade in the south. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is particularly important.
Remove stems of faded flowers to encourage additional bloom. In cold winter climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving. Divide clumps in spring every 3 to 4 years.
One quart container.
