Heuchera - Old la Rochetta Coral Bells

Pot Size: 1 gallon

Heuchera, also known as coral bells or alum root, are herbaceous shade perennials native to America known primarily for their beautiful, robust foliage. They're a great low-maintenance option for landscape beds and container gardens, available in a range of alluring colors. With its colorful foliage, Heuchera is the perfect perennial to brighten up any garden throughout the entire growing season.
Evergreen Perennial 
Zones: 4-9
Size:  8 to 12 inches in height with a spread of 1 to 2 feet wide. 
Light:  Part Shade
Soil: Coral bells prefer to be planted in locations with a fertile, moist, well-drained soil. They particularly do not perform well in locations with poor drainage during the winter months.  
Water: Heuchera and x Heucherella both have good drought tolerance. During the growing season, 1" of water per week will keep your heuchera happy. Less during winter to avoid winter root rot.
Bloom: Heuchera forms attractive basal mounds with heart-shaped, rounded, or triangular leaves which can be smooth wavy, or ruffled. The leaf coloration varies by cultivar, but mainly includes various hues of amber, bronze-green, green, gold, pink, purple, deep purple and silver veined. In many instances, the coloration of the leaves varies with their environment and often changes with the seasons. In most locations, they are considered evergreen as the foliage lasts throughout the year.
Other notes: Although most heuchera plants are evergreen in mild climates, the top is likely to die down where winters are chilly. This is normal, and with a little TLC, you can be assured that the roots are protected and your heuchera will rebound in spring
Uses: Heuchera are commonly used as accent or specimen plants, in woodland gardens or rock gardens, and as groundcovers or mass plantings
