Foliage Color for the Shade

Coral Bells (Heuchera) prove that you don't need flowers to have a colorful garden. Grown primarily for their stunning leaves, they come in a shocking array of colors: deep purple, lime green, caramel, rusty orange, and nearly black. They form neat, low mounds that are semi-evergreen, keeping their color well into winter.

Why You Need It:

  • All-Season Color: The leaves look great from early spring until snow falls.
  • Shade Tolerant: Brightens up dark corners under trees.
  • Container Star: Perfect for adding color to pots and planters.

Planting Tips:

Thrives in Part Shade to Shade. They prefer well-drained soil; if the soil is too wet in winter, the crowns can rot. Plant them in groups of different colors for a tapestry effect.
