Heuchera 'Pink Panther' #1

If you love pink, you'll love the leaf color of 'Pink Panther.' In spring, semi-glossy leaves emerge metallic pink, maturing to a dark berry pink with darker veins as the season progresses. Plant in an area with filtered light or in shade to protect the lighter coloration and to bring out the best hue. Dark rose calyxes hold light pink flowers on dark stems rising higher above the foliage than most varieties. This is perfect as an accent in combination containers, or to bring a splash of color to your shade garden. The foliage grows 10-12" tall with a spread of 16-20", and the flowers scapes can reach 28-30". Hardy to Zone 4.

Breeders have come a long way with creating Heucheras with fantastic flowers, but this one also has very attractive, lightly silvered, mint green foliage that forms a compact, dense clump. The flowers stand in perfect proportion and contrast to the foliage.

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. Try cutting a few of the tall flower scapes for fresh bouquets.
