GREEN SPICE Heuchera
Common Name: Coral Bells
Zone 3 to 8, Evergreen (in some or all zones)
Full sun to full shade, depending on zone and conditions.
Plants reach 9inches tall and 16 inches wide,
clump-forming perennial.

Broad, green leaves have a silvery overlay, darker green edges, and outstanding beet-red veins. Colors are particularly strong during the cooler months. In early summer, tiny cream flowers are produced on 28 inch scapes. Extending its ornamental value even further into the season, the leaves take on brilliant shades of red and orange in the fall.

Easy to grow average soil; Heucheras will perform best in organically rich, humus, medium wet, well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Performs well in full sun in the north, but prefers some afternoon shade in the south. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is particularly important. They grow most vigorously and have the strongest colors when grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade). They can also be grown in full shade but their growth rate will be very slow.

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. Remove stems of faded flowers to encourage additional bloom. Foliage is essentially evergreen in warm winter climates, but the amount of retained foliage color in cold winter climates depends upon the temperatures. In cold winter climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving. Clumps may be divided in the spring every 3 to 4 years .
