Coral bells are not only eye-catching foliate plants available in a rainbow of colors but also excellent cut flowers, where their stems of tiny white to pink to coral bells make an excellent, long-lasting filler in flower arrangements. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about the benefits of growing Heuchera in your garden. Along with beautiful blooms, there is so much more coral bells have to offer. Similar to Hosta, they are perfect foliage for shade gardens and can even tolerate sunny spots in the garden and they require very little maintenance. Another thing they offer that we don’t find often in the shade garden is their bell-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds! If you are looking for green coral bells, check out varieties like Electric Lime and Dolce® Appletini. If you prefer dark purple varieties, look for Primo® Black Pearl, Obsidian, Forever Purple, Plum Pudding, or Midnight Rose. Forever Red, Primo® Wild Rose, and Fire Chief are beautiful, vibrant red foliage plants. For more orange/rust color interest check out Peach Flambe or Caramel.
