$9.99
Hybrid coral bells with bronze-peachy-pink leaves and silver markings. The foliage color is the most intense in the spring, then it fades to lighter greenish-bronze.
Maybe a bit less showy than other cultivars, but it has proven to do very well and be long-lived in hot and humid summer here in Bloomington, IN and also in Chicago area (which is obviously Heuchera villosa parentage characteristics).
8-12" tall x 12-18" wide clumps. 24-36" tall with whitish flowers in April/May till June/July.
Dappled sun (in northern climates), otherwise half shade to full shade, adaptable to many soil types with some organic matter or mulch and average moisture (medium, medium-moist, medium-dry). Medium-moist soil is recommended, but plants seem to do fine with some summer drought, that usually come here every summer.
Soil should be naturally drained, because it's usually the excessive winter moisture, that can cause rotting = plant death. Don't plant in waterlogged soil!
Hardy in zones 4 to 9. Plants seem to be deer and rabbit resistant. Flowers attracts small native bees, hummingbirds and butterflies.
Black walnut tolerant plant.
Patented cultivar under USPP#24803, propagation is prohibited.
Best in half shade - shade or woodland garden.
The structure of this plant is quite bold, so the best in combinations are with plants with contrasting = smaller, fine or divided leaves or habits like Actaea pachypoda, Aruncus aeathusolius (and hybrids), Astilbe chinensis and it's cultivars, Epimedium (any species or hybrid, the narrower-leaved ones probably the best), Gallium odoratum, some Geraniums, (smaller) cultivars of Helleborus, Iris cristata, Phlox divaricata, Phlox stolonifera, smaller Polygonatum, Scutellaria serrata and hybrids, Tiarella cultivars with deeply cut leaves, Tricyrtis and especially with fine-leaved Carex and ferns.
Goes well with Narcissus and native spring ephemerals like Claytonia, Dodecatheon, Hepatica, Mertensia, Jeffersonia, Sanguinaria, Trillium and others.
Good combo can be with narrow-leaved Hosta, Pulmonaria or grass Hakonechloa.
Pot size : square 3.5" x 4" deep pot
