Heuchera 'Pistache' PP19585 Common Name: Coral Bells
Zone 4 to 9, Evergreen (in some or all zones) Part shade to full shade.
Plants reach 10 inches tall and 14 inches wide, clump-forming perennial.
'Pistache' is a robust grower with large, light lime green to chartreuse-yellow leaves depending on the sun exposure. The color is a perfect foil for blue hostas or purple-leaved heucheras. The leaves are so light in color, this variety appreciates more shade than some of the other villosa hybrids. Rounded, lobed, long-petiole leaves may develop a red edge in fall. Fabulous compact habit looks great in containers or as edging.
This Heuchera villosa hybrid is a large, late blooming type that exhibits an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity over other species. White flowers in midsummer, though they are grown more for their fantastic foliage. H. villosa is native to the southeastern United States.
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 .
